[name]Do[/name] you like [name]Lorelei[/name]? From my understanding it’s not used in [name]German[/name] speaking countries because it would be like using “[name]Snow[/name] White” or “Rumplestiltskin”, so would it be odd to use [name]Lorelei[/name]?
That’s actually my sister’s name, but she goes by [name]Lori[/name] as a nickname [which I think is a shame because I quite like the full name but oh well].
I love the the full name too.
I think it’s a beautiful name, but the legend is not so very nice.
This name is a guilty pleasure of mine… I would love to use it to honor my mom ([name]Laura[/name]) but this name just would get butchered in Spanish… sigh
[name]Lorelei[/name] is a favorite of mine. I think it is beautiful, classy, and not overly-popular. I understand the [name]German[/name] lore of the lorelei is not the most positive association, but I could really care less about that.
I was actually really sad when [name]Gilmore[/name] Girls (a show I can’t stand) came along and gave so much exposure to the name. I bet there are more than a few little [name]Lorelei[/name]'s running around right now whose parents got their inspiration from GG!
It’s a lovely, refreshing name. Go for it!
[name]Love[/name] it, and don’t really mind the [name]Gilmore[/name] Girls association
