I have the following list: 

l={{1,2},{3,4},{5,6}}

I want to list plot above such that the first element {1,2} can be labeled "a", {3,4} labeled "b" and {5,6} to be labeled "c", I know I can label coordinates using, 

ListPlot[Labeled[#, #] & /@ l]

for which I get,

enter image description here

But I want the label to be "a", "b" and "c"

    $\begingroup$ l = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}}; labels = {"a", "b", "c"}; ListPlot[Labeled[l[[#]], labels[[#]]] & /@ Range[Length[l]]]. $\endgroup$ – JimB Aug 1 '18 at 16:01

    $\begingroup$ From the docs: ListPlot[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}} -> {"a", "b", "c"}, LabelingFunction -> Above] $\endgroup$ – user1066 Aug 1 '18 at 16:04
  • $\begingroup$ LabelingFunction doesn't work for me $\endgroup$ – Wiliam Aug 1 '18 at 16:06
  • $\begingroup$ @user1066 has a better (simpler and direct) answer so that's the one you should select. But your comment suggests you might have an older version of Mathematica. It works fine on 11.3 Windows 10. You should mention in your question which Mathematica version and operating system you have. $\endgroup$ – JimB Aug 1 '18 at 16:06

list = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}}; labels = {"a", "b", "c"};
