This might be difficult to bear, if you live near Loris, South Carolina. Only, under (potentially) confusing circumstances, whether people are talking about you or the city. Despite that, I have always thought that Loris would be a pretty, feminine name; I'm surprised that it's masculine, and find that cool. If you're having a daughter and live in/near Loris, South Carolina, perhaps try the name Delores instead (if the potential issue I stated above is a dealbreaker).
This is my name, passed down from my great-grandmother to my grandmother to me. I hope to mother a daughter I too can pass on this fun and unique name in the United States! I think us Loris’ should go to Loris South Carolina for a convention! Loris CON.
My name is Loris. Today is my birthday. I was born in the U.S. in 1947. I was named after my mother's elder half sister. She was born in 1899. I like that my name is unique. It is somewhat annoying having to spell it and pronounce it carefully for people who think I have said Lois or Doris. I do not know the history of the name in the U.S. How did it get to be used in a predominately German/Scot family? I would be interested to know if there was a "Loris" as a character in a novel in the late 19th century.

My name is Loris. I'm named after my grandmother, she was Ethel-Loris. I've never really liked my name, but everyone else does. I can't count how many times I've said, " No, its Loris. Like Delores, just drop the D"
This name is great when used for guys and it also works well for girls as I think Loris sounds really pretty. I love the cute animal Slow Loris! ^^

Loris sounds like a unisex name. I love it, I personally would use it for a boy. The animal is absolutely adorable but it's not an obvious animal name which is great.
