The TV show Gilmore Girls has definitely made this name more popular. Look at it on the name voyager. It went from non-existent to #969 in 2004 to #802 the very next year. While it still barely makes the list, its trendiness can be seen with such a strong increase (almost 200 spots in just one year!!!), and with fake antique names being popular right now and the TV show still airing (new episodes and in sindication) it will go up for at least the next few years. I have met a 1 year old named Lorelei and someone who writes a cloumn in a popular parenting mag has a daughter named Lorelei. Both times I heard it I instantly thought of Gilmore Girls and I do not even watch this show on a regular basis.

I voted no, but I knew a Lorelei in college (went by Lori). She'd be about 30 now, so she's obviously not a child.
