One of the most limpid and luminous letters is `L.' -- Nabokov, Playboy interview (1964)

My first name, “Lillian”, has a double-“ell”in the middle, and thus, three “ell”s total in it. Count 'em: three. In fact, at one point, I was using the login “llllee” until people told me to cut it out.

Nevertheless, people seem to often omit one of the two middle “ell”s.

Given this, it may be worth noting that according to the US Social Security website, in the year 2024, “Lillian” was the 54th most common female name, compared to “Lilian” at rank 558.

The people have spoken!
