Loretta?

[onebigwish]

I don't know why but I absolutely love this.

What are your thoughts?

Middle aged country singer.

Only if your husband is a coalminer!

Love it !

I like it, it's quite nice to say!

What PVL said - country singer who coulda made it big.

Wasn't there a Loretta Bobbit who cut off her husband's penis? Both she and husband achieved notoriety and IIRC he got a new fake penis and had a short career as a porn star

Nah, that was Lorena Bobbit.

I think Get Back by The Beatles.
"Your mama's waiting for you / wearing her high-heeled shoes / and her low-necked sweater / Get back, Loretta!"
It could work...

watch Grandpa in my pocket on cbeebies and look out for Great Aunt Loretta

Loretta Lynn (American country singer) or Loretta Swit (Hot Lips Houlihan from MASH). Doesn't particularly do it for me, sorry, sounds very old.

Middle name if you really love it?

I like it.

but why Loretta Stan?

Cleveland's wife off Family Guy.

However, my DD has the same name as a Family Guy character so I can't really use the above as an excuse as to why I dont think Loretta is a nice name

Isn't there a Monty Python sketch about a man who wants to be a woman and wants to be called Loretta?

It's the first thing that popped in my head

Sorry OP but it's awful, you can't call a baby Loretta.

My friend has one, I think she goes by Retta. I like it. I think it's one of those names that sounds retro and trendy if you are a retro/trendy type, and not if you're not!

I like it, would use Lori as a NN.

It's like a stripper name.
