Is Lorelei Leigh too "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"?
- Yes. Definitely pick a different middle name.
- No. It sound great together.
- Other (feedback welcome)
You will be able to change your vote.

I'm actually leaning toward using Lorelei Mae (my grandmother's mn was Mae). However, I'm still toying with other middle name ideas. I really like Lorelei Giselle but hubby won't go for it. Reminds him too much of a gazelle, which I don't think is bad thing, but he hates it. There aren't really any other family names I like except maybe Cynthia, which is my mom's name. I'm just not sure I care for the ring of Lorelei Cynthia.
Any more ideas would be appreciated....
I voted for other. I didn't get the "Gentlemn Prefer Blodes" reference, but I don't think it flows well together. It's a tongue-twister.
Personally, I really like Lorelei Cynthia for you. I think it flows well and it has a nice family significance. I also like Lorelei Mae.
I really like the name Lorelei but the alliteration of Leigh just doesn't go. Some suggestions:
Lorelei Dawn
Lorelei Brooke
Lorelai Paige
Lorelai Tate
I like Lorelei but not with Leigh.
Is there another mn you could consider using?

Thank you for the advice! I agree that Lorelei Leigh probably isn't the best choice - I just needed to hear it from others. :) I like many of the suggestions that were given. Although I like the idea of honoring my grandmother with the mn Mae, I'm just becoming less and less happy with using it next to Lorelei. It just doesn't give off the feel I would like. It almost makes the name seem old-fashioned, which isn't bad, it's just not what I'm going for. That's why I loved Giselle, but alas it's not meant to be. I'm lucky dh agreed to Lorelei. :)
WDYT about these with our last name....More suggestions are welcome. I'm going for a classy, elegant feel. I'm not sure any of these give that off or not...
Lorelei Paige Thomas
Lorelei Laine Thomas
Lorelei Faye Thomas
Lorelei Evelyn Thomas
BTW, dh still LOVES Lorelei Michelle. I think because it's my mn. I'm just not sure about it. Seems like there are better options out there, KWIM?

I don't even know what the "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" connection is - but I do not think the two names go together very well - too L-heavy
the way Lorelei is pronounced is very heavy on both Ls, then to go into another L for the midldle is just so much
what was the reason for the Leigh?
