I have a family member who I would like to name my daughter after, but I don’t love either of her names. Her middle name is [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]. Can you think of variations on [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] that I could use? I have thought of [name_f]Lora[/name_f] (which is ok, but i don’t like uncommon spellings) or [name_f]Raine[/name_f] (which I don’t care for). Any other obvious ones I’m not thinking of?
What about [name_u]Laine[/name_u]/[name_f]Lainey[/name_f]?
I like [name_u]Laine[/name_u] a lot. Is that similar enough to [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] for me to claim she’s “named after” [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]?
I think [name_u]Laine[/name_u] could definitely honor a [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]!
I plan to use [name_u]Laine[/name_u] (or maybe [name_f]Adelaine[/name_f]) to honor my grandmother, her name was [name_f]LaRaine[/name_f], another variation of [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]. My brother plans to use [name_f]Raine[/name_f].
