            Spanish, Portuguese and Italian word name meaning "pretty"

            Diminutive of Elizabeth, Hebrew

            "pledged to God"

          • Origin:

            Scottish
          • Meaning:

            "small hollow"
          • Description:

            According to exclusive Nameberry data, Logan is officially the Number 1 gender-neutral name in the US, but that statistic is somewhat misleading given that nearly 90 percent of the baby Logans born in 2023 were boys.

            English spelling variation of Laurie; diminutive of Laura

        • Lou
          • Origin:

            Diminutive of Louis or Lewis, French and German
          • Meaning:

            "renowned warrior"
          • Description:

            Lou, all by itself, is become fashionable for girls, which usually makes a name LESS fashionable for boys. But Lou, like Bill or Jim, is rarely used on its own for boys anyway. (You wouldn't name a boy Frederick Lou the way that girls are named Mary Lou or, in the case of Keri Russell's new baby, Willa Lou.) Long form Louis is getting cool again and, with the Lewis spelling, is the Number 2 name in Scotland.
        • Louis
          • Origin:

            German and French
          • Meaning:

            "renowned warrior"
          • Description:

            Kate and William shocked the world when they announced that they'd named their third child Louis -- Prince Louis Arthur Charles, to be more precise. But we've been predicting a comeback for this classic name for a long time.
        • Loulou
          • Origin:

            Diminutive of Louise or Louisa
          • Description:

            Loulou is more likely to be fashioned as Lulu today, but as a short form for any of the Louise names, Loulou is the more logical if more cumbersome spelling. Adorable, in either version.
        • Lucy
          • Origin:

            English variation of Lucia, Latin
          • Meaning:

            "light"
          • Description:

            A versatile classic, Lucy is both sweet and solid, a saint's name, and the heroine of several great novels. First fashionable in England and Wales, Lucy is now a popular choice in the US, The Netherlands, and New Zealand.
