Almost every twentieth first name in the USA begins with the letter L…
This makes the initial L a great deal more common than average: As there’s 26 letters in the alphabet, each letter appears as an initial in about 3.8 % of all names. Reality is always different, of course: Some initials appear particularly frequently, while others are much rarer. The most common initials in the United States are A and J, while very few names begin with the letters U and X.
In the USA, the most common first names with an L are currently Liam for boys and Lily for girls. Approximately 1.1 % of all newborn boys and as many as 0.4 % of girls are given this name respectively. Other popular first names with L are Logan and Layla. In the United States, the names Leland for boys and Lana for girls are also found occasionally but are actually very rare.
