Lorelei - First or Middle Name?
| Thu, 01-04-2007 - 1:06pm |
What are your thoughts on using the name Lorelei for a middle name instead of a first name? I love the name's beauty and exoticness, however, I do sometimes feel it is a mouthful for a first name. In addition, I just can't seem to come up with a middle name to go along with it. Should I continue my middle name search or move Lorelei to the middle position?

To be honest, I think you are overthinking it! Lorelei is lovely as a first name, it is not too much of a mouthful. You have some great mn choices that flow perfectly. I don't see the problem!

That's the one I keep voting for in your polls... it does have a really nice sound to it.

I don't think it's a mouthful at all, and if it is there are plenty of nns for it ... I'm sure one would suit her. ;)
Also, if memory serves, you've loved the name for some time. I'd never give up on a fn I really wanted just because I couldn't find a mn I loved with it. I'd either keep looking for the perfect mn or use a family name with special meaning, without regard to how well it sounds, KWIM?
