Comments for the name Lorna

I have a set of rather old dictionaries and in the back they have a listing of names, masculine and feminine of course. For each name they have pronunciation, meaning, other spellings, and history/origin sometimes. Anyway, for the name Lorna, it says that it means 'Lost'.

There's a girl in my class called Lorna. It is a pretty and uncommon name but I find it kind of hard to pronounce. Also it is very similar to Laura when you say it, which puts me off the name as I don't like Laura.

It's a very beautiful name. When I picture a "Lorna" I picture a very beautiful, clear-skinned girl with flowing dark hair standing on a mountain on a stormy evening. It's very romantic and dramatic!

When you say LORNA, I think of Doom. Because of Lorna Doone. I haven't read it but I've seen the Blurb. No offense to the Lornas though.

Even though my name is Lorna. I don't like it. It isn't original. To all the people who don't like the name, I don't either so I agree. But I have to live with it. For the people who think they have an image of what a 'Lorna' looks like, everyone is different. Me? I sit on a computer, have boy-short dirty blonde hair and wear glasses. That should give you a pretty good image of a Lorna.

Lorna is such a lovely name, and I plan on using it one day. As a first name, it feels intelligent and feminine.

A famous bearer of this name is Lorna Luft, born Nov 21, 1952, daughter of actress and singer Judy Garland and movie producer Sidney Luft.

Lorna "Polaris" Dane, a Marvel Comics superhero best known as a member of the X-Men. Her powers are magnetic-based. Magneto is her father. She has green hair.

"Lorna Doone" is also a brand of cookies.

The name doesn't sound very pleasant, and it's hopelessly old-fashioned.

In the novel, Lorna's maternal grandfather had the title Earl of Lorne. She was named for her mother's family.

After what I've read Lorna means 'Fox', that is one of the reasons I like it, it feels is so strong.

Lorna is a lovely name and also my older sister's. It is strange how people think of a fair skinned girl with dark hair as a Lorna because that is just like my sister.

Lorna Cole (played by Rene Russo) is the love interest of Sgt. Martin Riggs (played by Mel Gibson) in "Lethal Weapon 3".
