I’m not familiar with Loreley. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you say lor-rel-ee or lor-rel-lay?
I think most ppl would just call her [name_f]Lorie[/name_f].
[name_f]Lora[/name_f] and [name_f]Layla[/name_f] are just different name options. I don’t see them as NNs.
But the beauty of a nn is that it can be anything you want to call her.
Many NNs are totally unrelated to the real name.
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_u]Boo[/name_u] [name_u]Boo[/name_u] is really [name_f]Alana[/name_f], her sister Pumpkin is named [name_f]Lauren[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Lola[/name_f] is very cute!
I’d consider spelling [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] though… which is a lovely name… unless it’s meant to be a different pronunciation? Otherwise I think it just causes spelling and pronunciation issues for your child.
