Lorelei - What do Germans think of this?
| Fri, 04-21-2006 - 11:23am |
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I really like the name Lorelei. I have Austrian roots and would like to honor my heritage. However, I'm wondering if this name is actually as popular in German-speaking countries as it is seems to be getting here? I don't want to choose a German name that even Germans or Austrians wouldn't even consider using. Does that make sense? I have tried looking on German baby name web sites, and I can't even seem to find this name listed. I'm wondering if this has to do with the whole siren association.
Also, I'm trying to find out which spelling is most common (if any at all) - Lorelei or Loralei. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you!
