What do you think of Leilani and Lorelei as sisters? And, do you even like the names in general?

Like Lorelei, but not Lailani. They would make nice sibs though.

Lorelei is very nice, and so is Leilani, but together... the different cultural background sticks out to me. How about Lorelei and Liesel?

No.

Leilani is too Hawaiian, and Lorelei is German. Nothing wrong with it, its jsut that they dont fit.

Leilani for me only seems to work on a Hawaiian girl. HOw about

Lorelei and Lillian

I like both names and they go nicely. The only problem is that they are different origins, and the 'ei's are pronounced differently in each. Some people may find that confusing and say "Ly-lani and Lore-ah-lye" or "Lay-lani and Lore-ah-lay". You know what I mean?

Yes, i see what you are saying, but aside from this board most people aren't "name freaks" (i say that lovingly of course since i'm one of you :D ) So i doubt anyone would really notice or care that they are from different origins. The fact that the spellings are similiar but pronounced differently are kinda what makes me like the 2 names together in the first place. 2 individual pronounciations for 2 different people.

They go well as sisters but neither name is my cup of tea.
