English Names that Start With L

Lori, with this sleek modern spelling, was an extremely popular name in the middle of the 20th century, ranking among the Top 100 girls' names from the early 1950s until the early 1980s.
 
But it was that very popularity that sent the name plummeting in popularity, as all the Baby Boomers named Lori began having babies of their own, making Lori (and Laurie) a mom name.
 
As Lori waned, Lauren rose, reigning at the top of the charts from the eighties through the oughties.
 
And now that Lauren too is becoming a mom name, what's taking its place? Classic Laura, matriarch of all the Loris, Lauries, and Laurens, is showing signs of revival in the US and ranking in the girls' Top 100 in many diverse European countries, cultures, and languages.
 
So baby Laura named in honor on grandma Lori brings the name full circle -- with today's little Lauras perhaps naming their own baby girls Lori and Laurie.
