Opinions on Loraina/Loreina?

38 weeks pregnant today and have finally come up with a name we can agree on! (we like uncommon names but not stupid) just need some opinions/ suggestions on what you think/ spellings etc. Will be pronounced Lor-ray-na. I really like the nickname Lori (Law-ree) but wanted a full proper name for birth certificate/ jobs etc.

Also with regards to middle names which is better Loraina Kay Genevieve (love the name Genevieve but dp won't have it as a first name) or Loraina Kay Lillian (Lillian has family connections).

Thanks Jade x

I quite like the sound of it, but I'm not sure which spelling I prefer, neither look quite right to me and I can't work out why Confused tired
I think it works best with the first combination of names Smile

I like Lorena, pronounced Lorenna.

Lor-ray-na sounds a bit naff, like the dreadful Lorraine, soz.

Hmm, my first thought was Lorena Bobbitt, which isn't great!

Prefer Genevieve to Lillian, the two names starting with an L don't sound right together.

I prefer your other names! Not a fan of Lorraine nor Lorenna.

Lorena is nice thanks :)

I've never heard of Loreina. It sounds a bit like you meant Lorraine but put a random a on the end.

I agree that Lorena is nice and I think Lorena Kay Genevieve flows beautifully

Another vote for Lorena!

I really like Lori as it is, no need for a longer name, perhaps it could be spelt Lowri?
