      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”.
