The Bayer designation of this star, l Puppis, uses a lowercase 'L', not an uppercase 'i'. The complicate matters, there is also a star designated 'I Puppis' with a capital 'i', and two named 'L Puppis' (L1Puppis and L2Puppis). All three of these other stars happen to fall relatively close together in the sky, far to the southward of the supergiant l Puppis described here.
