Hmm, personally I prefer the spelling Lorelei or even Loreley.
(I am curious as to how people would pronounce Loreley).
Additionally, this name gives me similar vibes as the name Melusine🧜🏻‍♀️: powerful, dangerous, epic even))
Unfortunately, I do not like any nicknames associated with Lorelai/Lorelei. And this prevents me from using it.

I'd pronounce it LAWR-ə-lay.

Thanks! Same, but for some reason, I want to stress the last syllable: lawr-ə-LAY.

Thanks! So, just an -e sound in the last syllable?
