Comments for the name Loren

Comments for LOREN:

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

This name is actually pronounced 'Lo-ren', not 'Law-ren'. I know this because it happens to be my name.

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! : )

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.
