Is this too "Gilmore Girls"?

First of all, I would just like to say it is nice to be back on this board. I decided I needed a little break from the baby name game and have come back refreshed.
My question is this. As most of you know, our top girl's name has always been Lorelei. DH is still holding onto the name Emily, though. WDYT of Lorelei Emily Thomas? Is this too much of a reference to the "Gilmore Girls" (which we are definitely not going for). I think the grandmother's name on that show is Emily and, of course, the mom's name is Lorelei. Would most people get this connection or even care? Lastly, would Lorelei Emma Thomas sound better? Emaline is a family name, and I kind of liked the idea of shortening it to Emma.
Your thoughts?

As for your Glimore Girls fear, even if people do immediately think of that show, it shouldn't be a problem for your daughter. One, when she's a young child neither she nor her peers will be watching the show. Two, when she is old enough to watch it, it probably won't be on anymore. Three, it's not such a cultural phenomenon that it will have enduring connotations for those who have seen it. It's not like you want to name your child Lucy Ethel!
