Loren

I think this looks much more masculine than Lauren.

It's pretty for a variant.

This spelling of Lauren seems a little bit more masculine than Lauren, but a lot of people are preferring it for a girl rather than a boy because Lorin is still feminine but Lauren is way more feminine. I still think Lauren is more of a girl’s name, no matter how it’s spelled, if it’s spelled Lorin, it’s still more feminine than masculine, especially if you spell it Lauryn... Lauryn is definitely not a strong manly name! But if I ever named a boy this, I would spell it Loren!

I love this name, it's so uncommon for a male and very sophisticated. We also have a anchorman in our city named Loren and he's very handsome! ;-)

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.

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! : )

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.

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?

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!
