Beautiful

Graceful and smooth, yet sharp on the ends. It is a beutiful name, but i would think twice before naming my child that. I would give my daughter a more knowledgable name. Yet, if you are seeking solely beauty, go ahead and name her this.
Becoming More Popular

My name is Lorelie and I've always loved it. In the past few months, I've met four different little girls named Lorelei so it's becoming more and more popular. My original idea was to name my baby girl after me but since the "Gilmore Girls", I'm thinking we'll go in a different direction.
