Lorelei Paige has a much nicer flow than Lorelei Avery. With Lorelei being 3-syllables and Paige being 1-syllable it sounds nicer to my ears. Both Lorelei and Avery are 3-syllables which don't sound as nice.

Lorelei Paige is fabulous! With a 3 syllable fn it's best to go w/ 1 syllable mn. I love it!

I see I'm in the minority here, but Lorelei Paige Thomas sounds quite abrupt to me, so I'd actually prefer a mn with more than one syllable. Lorelei Avery Thomas definitely got my vote. ;)

Kelli - that has been a concern to me lately. I love the sound of Lorelei Paige but "Paige Thomas" does seem a little abrupt to me. Of course, how often do you really say all three names together? I'm not sure how important this is.

If you love Paige in and of itself, and not simply based on its flow with Lorelei, Thomas, or the whole name overall, I'd say use it anyway. If the abruptness concerns you, and you love Avery equally, I'd go with Avery. But if the abruptness of Paige and the same number of syllables in Lorelei and Avery concern you, you can always keep looking. ;)

I would have suggested moving on to two-syllable mns, but then you'd have the same problem with the mn and ln having the same number (although this could still work).

For example:
Lorelei Ava Thomas
Lorelei Giselle Thomas (although I think this may have already been vetoed?)
Lorelei Gretchen
Lorelei Freya Thomas

Some with four or more syllables:
Lorelei Anastasia Thomas
Lorelei Andreana Thomas
Lorelei Angelina Thomas
Lorelei Caterina Thomas
Lorelei Cytheria Thomas
Lorelei Eugenia Thomas
Lorelei Evangeline Thomas
Lorelei Magdalena Thomas

Just some ideas. ;)
