I find this name really beautiful, and it's uncommon.

What do you think of this name? Should it make a comeback? What middle name would you choose? Do you like the nickname Lori?

Some middle names I like:

Lorna Elizabeth
Lorna Marie
Lorna Violet

Love the name. It's shirt enough I wouldn't use a nickname for it. Because of the length of the name and that it ends in "a" it flows well with just about any middle name except names that end in "a", too.

I actually always really liked it. I think it's pretty.

to add:

no, Lori is dated and boring.

Lorna needs an exciting middle name. Lorna Violet is nice but Lorna Elizabeth is bland.

Love it

It's been a background favourite for a long time, and I really should put it back on my list properly.

Lorna Violet is lovely, and Lorna Elizabeth flows beautifully.

Lorna Meredith
Lorna Joy
Lorna Catherine
Lorna Celeste
Lorna Faith
Lorna Margaret
Lorna Millicent

Or as a middle name...

Iris Lorna
Ivy Lorna
Mildred Lorna

I could see Lorna making a comeback. To me, it's just okay. I do really like Lori though.

I wouldn't use a nickname, though.

I love Lorna. I don't like Lori, it's dated and lately I've seen people talking about a misogynistic internet person called Lori.

Ditto Lorna Violet! And Lorna Elizabeth is good too. Nope on Marie, it's too fillery and has the opposite effect as Lorna.

Lorna Jade
Lorna Viola
Lorna Gwyneira
Lorna Olympia
Lorna Sapphira
Lorna Emerald
Lorna Olwen
Lorna Opal
Lorna Silvara
Lorna Victoria
Lorna Siobhan
Lorna Charlotte

Lorna is beautiful. It gives of romantic Scottish heroine vibes due to Lorna Doone.

I like all three of your middle name pairings but especially Marie and Elizabeth.

I was at school with a Lorna who was never called by any nickname or short form. I quite like the name and would be happy enough to see lots of young ones, but I love Laura so much that I'd never consider a name that was close to it. No Lorna therefore, and no Lorraine either.
