The problem I’m facing here is that I feel like no other names really “fit” with [name]Lorelei[/name]. We spent so much time revising list after list of possible baby names that when we finally settled on [name]Lorelei[/name], all other names suddenly seemed to be on a lower level… Have any other parents experienced that feeling?
Anyhow, to give a feel of the type of names we prefer, here’s a list of girls:
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
Vivienne
[name]Briony[/name]
[name]Bridgette[/name] (“[name]Birdie[/name]”)
and now for the boys:
[name]Jackson[/name]
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]Peirce[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Jake[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Zeppelin[/name]
So, what do you berries think? Regardless of the lists, what do you guys think pairs well with [name]Lorelei[/name]? We’re all ears.
I know what you mean about feeling that no other names are on the same level - I’ve been experiencing the same thing trying to revise my list for a potential second son!
From your lists, my favorites with [name]Lorelei[/name] are [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Jude[/name]. I think [name]Lorelei[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name] are actually a fabulous match - both are three syllables, [name]Lorelei[/name] has the repeating “L” sounds while [name]Vivienne[/name] has repeating “V” sounds, both are familiar but a little quirky (which also applies to [name]Jude[/name]).
A few suggestions for you:
[name]Anthea[/name]
[name]Bettina[/name] (this is my own daughter’s name, so I’m biased, but I think it works really well with [name]Lorelei[/name]!)
[name]Cecile[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Maris[/name]
[name]Zelda[/name]
Ha, I have a friend who’s convinced she’s going to have twins and name them [name]Nikolai[/name] and [name]Lorelei[/name].
From your list I really like [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], [name]Milo[/name], and [name]Jude[/name] with [name]Lorelei[/name].
My favorites from your lists are [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Jude[/name]
Some more ideas:
[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Savannah[/name]
Oh man, thanks for all the feedback! It’s greatly appreciated!
I really like [name]Viggo[/name] and [name]Evander[/name], they have been added to the list! [name]Piper[/name] was actually the runner up choice when we had [name]Lorelei[/name], but we decided not to go with it because I have multiple redheads throughout my family on both sides and didn’t want her to be branded with the nickname of “[name]Pippy[/name]” just incase she happened to get a redhead gene. Made me smile though that [name]Piper[/name] was a suggestion, love the name.
I was thinking it might help to give you guys a little more background; our daughter is named [name]Lorelei[/name] [name]Mary[/name]-Lee, the middle name being a combination of both my mother and my hubby’s mother’s names (Mary Elizabeth and Karen Lee). We’d like to carry on honoring family members through the middle names, so if we were to have a girl, middle name possibilities would be:
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Paula[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Elaine[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Francis[/name]
And for a boy’s middle name:
[name]George[/name]
[name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]
[name]Steel[/name]
[name]Emmit[/name]
[name]Harold[/name]
[name]Robert[/name]
[name]Douglas[/name]
We’re definitely going to try out first and middle combinations with the suggestions as well as side by side with [name]Lorelei[/name] [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Lee[/name]. Thanks again for the awesome ideas! And feel free to keep them flowin’.
