Middle name for Lorelai

Girl Names
1

Note: I am still undecided on [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] or [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]. [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] holds meaning but [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] feels more correct.

Anyway, I need a middle name for [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f]. My combos are in my signature but I am stumped for something to add to [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f]. I usually pair unusual names with a more grounded name to even it out, but I can’t find anything to add to [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] without feeling like I am ‘taking away’ from the name.

I liked [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (my middle name) but [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] would be nicknamed [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] makes me cringe. Any ideas? The only names I don’t like are names that I would put under the dusty, old lady category ([name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] etc).

Thank you!

I like the suggestion of [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f].

I’ve had [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f]/[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] on my list for a long time and these are some of the middle names I’ve paired with it at some point:

[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_f]Edit[/name_f] to add: I actually think [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a cute nickname.

I lean towards [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] because I love [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] Girls, but it’s always irritated me a bit that it’s not “correct.” I know someone who named their daughter [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] and calls her [name_f]Lola[/name_f], so the “a” vs “e” makes more sense.

[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - my favorite, [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is great
