In a world of names ending in -n, -y/-ie/-i/-ey, and -a, some parents may want a different feel for their child's name. As I was thinking about this, the fact that my daughter's name ended with an "l" sound jumped out at me and made me want to gather similar names. What I found was a tremendous group of hidden gems!
There are quite a few so we'll start with the boy names. Only seven names ending with an "l" sound were in the Top 100 in 2011: Michael, Daniel, Gabriel, Samuel, Angel, Nathaniel, and Cole. Here are some others I found...

Do you see any hidden gems? What is your favorite "ends with an 'l' sound" boy name?
The girls list will come tomorrow.
My brother's name is Paul, my husband and I like the name Samuel, and I like Cole since it's the shorter version of my name, Nicole.
ReplyDeleteThe "l" sound ending does make a difference that's quite refreshing.
