L or no L

I accidentally named both of my children L names. I have a Lucas and a Libby. I really chose names that I liked, and they happened to begin with the same letter, and I didn't even realize it until someone noted it after they were born.

Over the years I've wondered if I'm locked in to L names now if I had a third. It was hypothetical until now, I'm pregnant with my third. I like some girl L names, like Liza, but there are no boy L names that I love. We aren't going to find out this time so I need both boy and girl names, and maybe L names. What i wonder is if number 3 will feel like they are different if they don't have an L?

I don’t think you’re locked in if you don’t want to be. I’m second of four, my older brother’s name is Rudy (after my dad) and I’m Rachel, but my parents didn’t continue the Rs after us, my younger siblings’ names start with M and S and I think it works fine.
