[Opinions] Nickname for Lorelei
What could be a nickname for Lorelei besides Lori? Would Leia work? It's my grandmother's name. Also, Lorelei or Lorelai?

Rory definitely! (I'm a bit of a Gilmore Girls fan)Lore
Lora
I can see Leia (LAY-a) actually, especially if you make sure to pronounce the "re" like "reh."

Lorelei is gorgeous. I definitely prefer Lorelei to Lorelai. As for nicknames, Lori works, but Leia seems like a bit of a stretch unless you're pronouncing Leia LIE-a, which I'm not too fond of because it sounds like "liar." How about Lora as a nickname for Lorelei?

Leia could work. Also Ly, Laia, Lora, Lorel, or Lei.
Lorelei is better than Lorelai IMO.

Sorry, I really don't see how Leia would work as a nn for Lorelei unless you're pronouncing it LIE-a instead of LAY-a. If that's the case, it would work fine. Could you just use the name Leia?I would personally use the nn Lore. Laure is one of my favorite girl names so I'm biased. :)And definitely Lorelei. Lorelai doesn't work for me. It's just looks off.
