ArchivesLurleen?
I don't know if this is the right spelling for it but if it's already up here and I've misspelt it, then sorry. But if this is the right spelling for it, then what does it mean as it's not in the L section?
I saw an episode of The Simpsons last week which starred a country singer named that, but is that a made up name like Bart?

I don’t know about the name Lurleen, but Bart is not a made up name, but rather, is a short form of the name Bartholomew, which was popularized by its appearance in the Bible as the name of one of Jesus’ apostles

There was (is?) a South African Lurlyn who was born in the 1940s. No idea which version is the original, but since it seems to be made up, that hardly matters.

It's a variant of Lurline, which is in submissions as a "poetic variant" of Lorelei.
