Classic Boy Names That Start with L
Love the idea of giving your son a name that starts with the letter L? There are plenty of wonderful L-names for boys. If your taste in baby names runs to the traditional and unswerving, have a look at our list of classic L-names for baby boys:
- Lucas. The Latin version of Luke, Lucas sounds classic and contemporary at once.
- Levi. Levi may be short in length, but it's not lacking in style.
- Leo. This one packs saintly credentials, literary associations, and a strong animal meaning ("lion") into just three little letters. Take it or leave it!
- Luke. An old biblical name with modern appeal.
- Luis. The Spanish equivalent of the English Louis.
- Leon. Meaning "lion" in Spanish, Leon is a great example of a "quiet classic", a name that has been in steady use for decades, but never chart-toppingly popular.
