Clara goes better with Elodie and is less of a tongue twister.

FartnissEverbeans · 13/03/2018 14:32

Lorelai is more interesting. I love it

IMBU · 13/03/2018 14:33

I like both - prefer Lorelai

NoCureForLove · 13/03/2018 14:36

LorelEi unless you want to spell it oddly and make it more difficult! Both are nice. Lorelei nicest.

BumDisease · 13/03/2018 14:37

Lorelei if you spell it correctly.

Ok I thought the pronounciation of lorelai and lorelei was different?
I prefer lie as in tell a lie
Rather than ie as in lee

Maybe I'm completely wrong ha! Oops
