Lorelei

It's the name of the song "Die Lorelei" by Franz Liszt.

The Pogues have a killer song called "Lorelei" on their album Peace and Love.

I think this name is pretty and unusual. A main character in Gail Carson Lavine's The Princess Test is named Lorelei.

In his brilliant musical, "Follies." Sondheim uses "Lorelei" as a word that defines beautiful women. Indeed the song is called "Beautiful Women."

The band "Blackmore's Night" does a beautiful song called Loreley about the sirens in the River Rhine. I adore that song, and hence, adore the name. Here's part of the song:

---

"Merrily we sailed along,
Though the waves were plenty strong,
Down the twisting River Rhine,
Following a song.

---

Legends faded storyline,
Tried to warn us all,
Oh they call her Lorely,
Careful, or you'll fall.

---

And the winds would cry,
And many men would die,
And all the waves would bow down,
To the Loreley."

The mother and daughter of Gilmore Girls are both named Lorelei Lee Gilmore, but the daughter is called "Rory" for short.
