Help: baby girls' names with 3rd letter 'L'

[DianeG]

OK - unusual request... isn't this what usually brings the best out of Tuggers?

A friend who is having a baby next May has asked me to help her remember a girl's name that once struck her. This name has two syllables, third letter 'l', and is a classic name (not a new or made-up one). She also remembers that it isnt an object's name, as in a flower. She really wants to "find" this name again as the letter 'l' is present in both her's and her husband's firsts and last names.

Thanks! She's got all of us wracking our brains...

 

[Luanne]

Allie?

Probably not a classic though.

"Well she walked up to me and she asked me to dance...I asked her her name and in a muffled voice she said Lola. L-O-L-A Lola!" :whoopie:

This site has over 11,000 names. If she has the energy, she can browse though them. Maybe she'll get lucky, and find the name..........
