Lark

Lark, f.

Meaning: type of bird

'L' is the perfect letter for girls. It's soft, lyrical, pretty and there are a huge number of wonderful names to choose from. L is such a good letter for girls that many names have several L's. For example, Lola, Lily, Leila, Lorelei, Lilia.

The name I have chosen is quite unusual. Lark, in case you didn't realise, is a type of bird, and so follows names such as Wren, Robin, Dove, Jay and Raven. It has a happy image, as the old-fashioned word 'lark' means 'an enjoyable or mischievous activity'.

I like the fact that if you chose this name for your little girl, you could use birds as a theme for the nursery. Or buy clothing/toys/stationary etc with bird prints to personalise them. A lark is a songbird, so if you are musical then this could be a nod to your interest in music. 

It would also make a pretty middle name. Although I haven't used them for either of my children, I am currently liking single syllable middles. This would especially compliment a 3 or 4 syllable first name. Something like Evangeline Lark. Ooh love this! Avoid this name as a middle if you have another word name for a first, eg - Scarlet Lark!!

What would you put with Lark?
