Loris for a boy

Is this a nice name or a bit wet? I'd really like something a little bit unusual / less common but really struggling

Like... the slow loris?

Cute animal but nickname potential bad, I would say.

SuburbanRhonda · 04/05/2017 10:21

Too much potential for teasing (slow loris) for my liking, sorry.

Nn at school likely to be Doris. .

Wasn't this a character on GoT too?

Figgygal · 04/05/2017 10:28

Immediately think of the animal so I wouldn't

Callmecordelia · 04/05/2017 10:30

I think of the animal too. It's not a good association, although it is cute.

ILookedintheWater · 04/05/2017 10:35

I know a Loris: she's a girl.

It's a shame about the 'slow' connection as it is a nice name.

Other unusual names that start with Lor- or end in -ris:

Lorand
Lorcan
Joris
Emris
Harris
Idris
Ferris

It sounds like a girl's name to me, but I've never met one. I'd soon get used to it if I knew one in real life.

FeralBeryl · 04/05/2017 10:56

I think I'd assume it was a girl. Like Doris.

WhereAreMyTesticlesSummer · 04/05/2017 10:56

Slow Loris 😂.

Not good, sorry OP.

MyschoolMyrules · 04/05/2017 10:57

Not a good name. Sounds like Doris. its an animal. It doesn't work.

CricketFishieDHAndMe · 04/05/2017 10:58

I actually know a really nice young man named Loris...
But the slow connection.

What about Lorenzo/Lorenz nn Loris?

Dixiestamp · 04/05/2017 13:11

If you're a Spurs fan and you're going to double the L- yes. If you're not- no.

Dixiestamp · 04/05/2017 13:12

PS The Spurs goalkeeper is called Hugo Lloris!

BertrandRussell · 04/05/2017 13:13

Slow loris?

mum2be2boys · 04/05/2017 17:17

I know a lovely boy named Loris so I like the name because of him.

lamado · 04/05/2017 17:23

If we had another child and let DS2 name him he would go for Loris, if we had twins he would call them Loris and Fossa, he's obsessed with animals from Madagascar.

EssentialHummus · 04/05/2017 17:26

Another "slow" from me.

TheChineseChicken · 04/05/2017 17:27

How about Linus?
