Help with "L" middle names for girls

I'm looking for a middle name for my daughter who I plan on naming either Cosette or Colette but I'm favoring Cosette at the moment.

I'd like to use a middle name starting with an "L" particularly French or English. I really like the name Lillian. Other names I had in mind were:

Cosette Lillian
Cosette Louise
Cosette Lenore
Cosette Lieselotte

But I'm not sure...

I think a more prper french spelling would be Cosette Liliane.

I also like
Cosette Leonie
Cosette Linnea
Cosette Lucie
Cosette Lydie

All very pretty. I think my favorites (from your list and mine) are
Cosette Louise
Cosette Liliane
Cosette Lucie

I prefer Colette (and actually, I love this name...never hear it), but if you want to use Cosette (all are (legitimately French):

Cosette Laure
Cosette Lea
Cosette Lianne
Cosette Liliane
Cosette Lourdes
Cosette Lucienne
Cosette Lydie

or, if you aren't stuck on the letter L:

Cosette Eliane
Cosette Solange
Cosette Delphine
Cosette Felicite
Cosette Joelle
Cosette Sabine
Cosette Veronique
Cosette Amandine

Cosette/Colette deserves a French mn. Lieselotte is way too Germanic.

Did you get Cosette from Les Mis?

From your list, Cosette Louise or Cosette Lenore are very nice. Also, Louisa, Lenora and Laurice.

No I didn't but I get asked that all the time from people which makes me question should or shouldn't I use it. I've never read or seen Les Misérables but what I gather Cosette was an orphan who led a semi happy life in the end. I grew having a name from a book and sadly the character was a prostitute and I got teased a little. I'm still debating Colette. I think Colette would do nicely beside Liliane.

I like Lillian.

My choice, if we have a girl for a MN will be Laine...

Lillian is very common these last couple of years.
I gave my baby girl the middle name Lilianne Nov 05.

Other ideas are:

Lili
Line (Lynn)
Layla/Leila
Luanne
Lauren
Laure
Lucinde
Lucie
Lacie
Lise
Lysandre
Lavande
Leah
Leigh
