I love the name Lorelei. I was obsessed with Gilmore Girls and probably still am. If i have a girl I'm going to name her either Loerlei or Amelie but I have no idea about middle names, I think I might keep those as family names.

We had chosen Lorelei because of how pretty it sounded but took the nickname Rory from Gilmore Girls!
