I voted for Lauren. I know it's pretty popular right now, but I think it's absolutely gorgeous. It's fantastic at all ages and will never go out of style - I know Laurens of all ages. My thoughts on your other names....

* Lexi -- I think this name is too "cute". It doesn't seem really appropriate for an adult. Imo, it would be better as a nn for Alexandra.
* Laura -- Another classic. I love this name too, but not quite as much as Lauren.
* Lori - okay. I'd prefer Laurie as a nn for Laura or Lauren.
* Lindsey - I have a bad association with this name so it's hard for me to be unbiased. But putting that aside, I think it's okay.
* Lakin -- not wild about this one. Just okay to me.
* Lena -- I like this a lot. I think it's pretty and classy. Personally I'd like it better as a nn for Elena.
* Lola -- I like this name in theory, but I can't get past the sexy image that seems to stick with it. Lola the showgirl in Copacabana; "Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets" from the musical Damn Yankees; Nabokov's book, Lolita. Etc.
* Leslie -- nms. I think this name is very dated. I have a hard time seeing it on a little girl.
* Leanna or Leanne -- not a huge favorite of mine, but I think it's pretty.

A few other L names you might like: Lara, Larissa, Laurel, Leila, Lily, Lindley, Linnea, Lisette, Lia/Leah, Liv/Livia, Lorelei, Lydia, Lucy

Good luck. :-)

I voted for Leanne/Leanna, but I like the spelling Liyonna, pronounced Lee-aun-ah

How about Lucy? There are plenty of longer names that have Lucy (or Lucie) as a nn- Lucille, Lucilla, Lucinda, Luciana, Lucia, even Lucienne, but Lucy is an excellent stand-alone name that's loved in the UK but left alone here- though with the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe creating such a buzz here that could be about to change. Then again, I love the older, simple names that have been underused recently and that's definitely one (I also love Anne, Ellen, Jane, Alice...etc). Louise came to mind too!

My fave girl name is Leah, that is what we will call our baby if it is a girl (Leah marie).
