Lorelei/Lorelai

Also I have no idea which is the correct/most popular spelling?

I'm not sure I'm even brave enough to use it being from the UK is it too American

Any other suggestions much appreciated

I love it but would assume you were a huge Gilmore Girls fan Grin

Lorelei.

It's too much

A bit Gilmour Girls for me but I don't hate it.

Personally not for me, but I think every child grows into their name.

I think Lorelei is the original. I’m not a huge fan, it sounds a bit faux-fancy and a bit outdated to me. But it’s not terrible.

I think you can use either spelling. Cocteau Twins have a song called Lorelei - it’s also as Lorelai in a song by Carly Simon, When You Close Your Eyes!
