Opinion on baby girl name

[ThePerkyPlayer]

Not sure yet but what's your opinions on the name 'Lorena' I think it's uncommon but still elegant and timeless. What's your suggestions and what middle name would be good?

Do you pronounce it Loreena or Lo-ren-a?

Lorena Gwen
Lorena Cecily
Lorena Mabel
Lorena Hazel
Lorena Sibyl
Lorena Juliet
Lorena Daphne

Not wild about it.

What about Marina? Similar sound and (IMO) much prettier.

I don't like it. Loretta is nicer.

Lor-en-a

I'm none the wiser. Is it the same sound as Loretta but with an N instead of TT?

I like it. I know one , unfortunately she gets called Loz 😬

En as enter or en as in house?

I would pronounce it Lor-ray-nah. Like Lorraine with the ah sound at the end.

Agree with PP, Marina is better.

Lorena pronounced as it’s written, Lor-en-a is lovely - pretty and not overused.

Nice but reminds me of a marina where boats are

Nice however I've never heard of it

Lori would be such a cute nickname though

Never heard Loretta

? Sorry I don't understand

Reminds me of Lauren Goodman of Towie that was her daughters name.

Not sure who that is, was she a good person

Lorena and Loretta are old lady names in the US, in the same vein as Beryl or Edna here. Popular in old days but not ones that are making a come back.

As I’ve spent a lot if time in the US, they’re not names I like. But what do I matter, some woman on the internet, use them if you like them.

I really like Lauren. Never quite popular enough to feel dated now, I think.

What about Loredana? Popular in Italy, shortened to Lori.

I think Lorena is uncommon enough for people not to have preconceived associations with it. You should go for it if you love it. It just sounds like a bit of a variation of Laura or Lauren.

I think it is pretty x

Lorena, nickname Lori, is lovely!

Immediately made me think of the prostitute in Lonesome Dove.

In general it’s an ok name though. The Lauren Goodger thing would put me off too.

There's a beautiful American country song called Lorena, it's beautiful so that makes me love the name ❤️

That isn't how Lorena is pronounced though! It's Italian. Lo-ren-a.
