My husband and I are expecting our first baby in [name_u]June[/name_u]! We aren’t finding out the gender and are working on both boy and girl options.
Since he has Germanic roots, we both have always really liked the name [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]. I know there will be a resurgence with the revent [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] Girls movies, but I’ve made my peace with that!
The question I have is: what’s a good nickname for [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]? My husband doesn’t like [name_f]Lori[/name_f] and I’d like to avoid [name_u]Rory[/name_u] if possible (a little too [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] for me…) so any creative options you guys can come up with would be greatly appreciated!!
I love that name too. I read somewhere someone had suggested [name_f]Leia[/name_f] (like [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars) and have always really liked that suggestion.
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]: Li-li (lee-lee)
[name_m]Rei[/name_m] (pronounced like ray or rye)
[name_u]Lee[/name_u] / [name_u]Leigh[/name_u]
[name_f]Lorel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lollie[/name_f] (my friend’s sister is named [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] and ppl call her [name_f]Lolly[/name_f])
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
