Which full name is best?

Now that I'm pretty much set on using the name Lorelei for a girl, I find myself having a difficult time with middle names. I've considered using some family names, but I'm not sure which sounds best.

Lorelei Cynthia Thomas (my mom's name)
Lorelei Mae Thomas (my grandmother's mn)
Lorelei Michelle Thomas (my mn)

or for something not family-related...

Lorelei Giselle Thomas

What do you think?

I love Lorelei Michelle the best. But I'm partial to Michelle because it's always a great middle name. I'm so glad that you are going with Lorelei. It wonderful.

Lorelei Michelle has the nicest flow, but I like Lorelei Cynthia the best for sentimental reasons.

I love the sound of Lorelei Giselle, followed by Lorelei Michelle. Since I've used family names as middle names for both my kids, I'd probably go with one of the top 3. Lorelei Cynthia is my least favorite based on sound, but I think it's fine if you want to honor your mom.

Good luck making a decision!

I wholeheartedly agree that if it's for sentimental reason's then by all means go with Cynthia. It's very pretty also. You can't go wrong!!!!

I really love Lorelei Cynthia. I think it flows beautifully and it's a great way to honor your mother. The others are all nice choices, but that's my favorite.

Lorelei Michelle Thomas

They all sound nice w/ Lorelei but I think you should be a bit selfish & use your own mn.

Lorelei Michelle is my favorite, for one I think it flows really well (Michelle is always a great middle name), it is also my first name. My sister named her daughter after me her name is Ivy Michelle, I just think it is a good middle name.
