Loren Galler-Rabinowitz (born January 19, 1986) is an American former ice dancer, physician and pageant titleholder. She is the 2004 U.S. ice dancing bronze medalist with David Mitchell and competed in the Miss America 2011 pageant.
Loren Eiseley (1907 – 1977) was an American anthropologist, educator, philosopher, and natural science writer, who taught and published books from the 1950s through the 1970s. He received many honorary degrees and was a fellow of multiple professional societies. At his death, he was Benjamin Franklin Professor of Anthropology and History of Science at the University of Pennsylvania.
This spelling of Lauren seems a little bit more masculine than Lauren, but a lot of people are preferring it for a girl rather than a boy because Lorin is still feminine but Lauren is way more feminine. I still think Lauren is more of a girl’s name, no matter how it’s spelled, if it’s spelled Lorin, it’s still more feminine than masculine, especially if you spell it Lauryn... Lauryn is definitely not a strong manly name! But if I ever named a boy this, I would spell it Loren!

The name Loren was given to 107 girls and 71 boys born in the US in 2015.
Loren Singer was a fictional Navy lawyer on the CBS show Jag. She was overly ambitious and trampled on everyone in her path. She was not the nicest or dynamic character.
I know a Loren, and I think it's strictly for boys. Lauren is for girls! He's half-Hungarian, and I've been told that Loren is actually Hungarian (and doesn't mean anything). His name is Loren Francis, and when he was little, used the nickname Lotzi (prn. Lote-zee), a diminutive of Loren.
I love the name Loren. That´s how I named my daughter. We use Lori as nickname. For me it sounds better as a girl´s name. My daughter is American but I am Brazilian, so I was looking for a name easy for both languages... turned out it´s not common in Brasil so not very easy. But I do always love the name... and my girl she´s a princess! : )
This site says Loren can be a girl or boy's name, and personally I think this name is a masculine name. It's like different spellings of Frances/Francis one is feminine, one is masculine, not both.

AnnaSophia Robb plays a character called Loren McConnell in the 2007 film 'The Reaping'. A very interesting, if slightly creepy, character. This is where I heard the name, and I have liked it ever since.
The list of related names need to add Lorne (generally male, as for Lorne Green, actor from TV show Bonanza). Also add Lori. My friend Loren uses Lori as her nickname.
Loren was the name of a one-time character on Stargate. He was in the episode "The Light". I don't know of any non-fictional people with this name.

I am called Loren and I never have liked it, it's far too common in England. Though, to be fair, most are called Lauren. I actually am changing the way I say it to Lo-REN.. like Sophia Loren type of thing. Just because it's easier, nicer and less common... does anyone know anyone who pronounces it like that?I get my name shortened to both Lor and Ren. I prefer Ren myself, but I'm not overly bothered which. Apart from Loz (Which I also detest) does anyone with the name shorten it to anything?
I love this name, but for a boy only. Lauren is for girls, Loren is for boys! I do know a Loren, and I happen to think it suits him very much. I love this name!
