Debate about L as an abbreviation for Little

My wife asked me to show her how to solve cryptics. She just solved one that clued an L with the word "little." She said L never stands for little, and though I picked up on the intention of the clue, the more I thought about it, the more I agree with her. I'm sure you could think of an example or two, but it seems weak.

Anyone have strong thoughts about clueing L with little?
