| 412.2 | Does George Begin with an "L"? | SHALOT::ANDERSON | Give me a U, give me a T... | Tue Jul 25 1989 14:29 | 22 |
| Is your last name Lindgren? If so, I would suggest picking
another letter than "l." Using an "l" for the first letters
of both the first and last names can make the name rather
sing-songy, a bit of a tongue-twister to pronounce, or
somewhat silly. For example, how about Lilly Lindgren, or
Lorelei Lindgren, or Lyle Lindgren -- see what I mean? I
know you've already done this with your first children, but
maybe you can use this as a chance to not inflict any further
damage.
Also, I have heard that siblings sometimes resent "schemes"
that tie them together. This scheme can be, for example,
first letters, first syllables (I know of a family with
an Alberto, Alfredo, and Alejandro), last syllables, themes
(e.g., characters from the Bible or mythology), masculine/
feminine combinations (Michael and Michelle, for example) ...
The explanation is that it doesn't give the child enough
sense of their own identity as a unique individual -- and that
they grow to resent it. I'd be real interested if anyone
could give us some personal feedback on this.

Thanks all of you for the suggestions on "L-names".
Cliff, I don't think it will be tonge-twisting if the forename begins
with an L. If the name contains more than one L and one of theme is
placed at the end of the name I can see your point. Therefore we
won't use any names with more than one L.

| 412.9 | Laura is pretty | CLOVE::MACDONALD_K | | Thu Aug 03 1989 11:20 | 13 |
| I really like Laura - in fact, I've never met a Laura that I didn't
like.
Don't worry about the two L's, either. There are a lot of people
whose first and last names begin with the same letter and it doesn't
sound bad at all (the actor Malcolm MacDowell comes to mind right
away). I've been told to stay away from first names beginning with
"M", but I disagree. I'm more concerned about *ending* a first
name with the same letter (or same sound) that the last name begins
with.

| 412.10 | how about "Lawrene LeRon"... | GENRAL::WEAVER | Hold On Help Is On The Way | Thu Feb 04 1993 17:31 | 16 |
| How about Lawrene, for a girl. Pronounced like Lauren, but spelled
different. Only thing, I have a problem with is when you see my name
I've always had people put a "c" in it to make it "Lawrence" and most
of my mail comes "Mr. Lawrence", or they call me "Lawrence, or Larry".
On the phone its usually, "May I speak to Mr. Lawrence" and when I say
my name is "Lawrene" you know the person on the other end is
embarrassed. Where does the name come from: Grandfather - Lawrence
middle name - "Le" from an uncle Leon, and the "Ron" a friend of the
family Ronald...So I'm - Lawrene LeRon.
Lawrene LeRon
