There's gotta be better than Nine and Lima!

Neigh? Nor?

Lloyd? Lear?

    "Nevermind" or "Next" would be pretty good.

    L could maybe be "Lagos" because there's two cities named that and they're pronounced differently?

    Llama

    No idea for Nine, though.

    Nine is evil because it's a valid character. When you are using a phonetic alphabet, you don't say "N as in Nine". The whole point is to speed up communication over crappy connections. Adding "as in" afterwards defeats the purpose of having a standard.

    As for L, I would go with "Letter".
