[Opinions] Re: Lorelei
in reply to a message by Leona
I quite like it, though it's somewhat trendy. The sound is nice, and the history is very interesting and appealing in a weird way, even if it's not the happiest. The meaning isn't the best, but the history and pretty sound outweighs the meaning in this case, for me at least.
I can't abide the ignorant misspelling of Lorelai. I simply can't stand it. Especially now that it's so popular because of Gilmore Girls. Oh how I wish the producers had at least spelled the name right! (In fact I even named a girl in my first FF Lorelei Osaka, purely as a form of protest against Lorelai.)
I really don't think Lorelei needs a nn. The only one I can think of that's not a ridiculous stretch is Lori, or Rory, and I don't care for either nn. (Though, if the child herself chooses either nn, that's fine with me.)
