Due early May - sorted for boys names not sure about girls, our surname is Rose - so dont want to sound like a florist

I worked with a Nicola Rose and her daughter is called Isabella. I also went to school with a Hannah Rose. All nice names. Rose is a very nice surname.

Heard this on the TV the other day and remarked on how awful it was....sorry but I really don't like it.

It's a rock in the middle of a river so not a name to me.

She might get the 'did you mum like Gilmore girls'.

I love it!

Wasn't she a nymph who drowned? It isn't chavvy, just doesn't have marvellous connatations.

How do you pronounce it?

rachel234 · 20/03/2011 11:27

Lorelei is a rock, not a name for a girl imo.

mateysmum · 20/03/2011 11:26

Sorry - sounds like chav central to me

I've driven past the Lorelei too many times so have only this association: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorelei
