Is Lorelei becoming popular?

in Baby Names
This was our girl name choice when we were pregnant with DS.  We are still hoping to use it someday, but I am hearing it more and more.  At the time, and still to this day, I have only known one person with this name, but I see that it is well received on this board.  Is Lorelei destined to become the new Emily, Isabella, Addison....?

    There was definitely a huge jump in popularity of the name in 2005, probably due to Gilmore Girls, but it's still extremely unpopular, only being in 780th place in 2009. It's definitely not another Ava or Emma - which is a good thing! https://www.babynamewizard.com/name-voyager#prefix=lorelai&ms=false&exact=false

    I think it depends on where you live. I know 2, but I wouldn'y say it's too popular.

    I only hear the name Lorelei on this board.  I think it's a very pretty name.  I have never known anyone named Lorelei and don't know anyone with the name on their baby list.

    I think the name Lorelei is popular here on this board, but is still a looong way from becoming Isabella or Emily. I dont know any Lorelei's in real life.

    I only know one Lorelei in the real life, and she's my age (32).

    The only Lorelei I know is about 2.5 right now.  I think you are safe using it.  I also know a Lorelee (long e sound), and she is like 5 now.

    I think a lot of names just get tossed around here a lot, but they aren't that popular IRL. Lorelei would be one of them.

    I don't know any Lorelei's. I do know a Lorelee & a Lorelyn.  Of the three I like Lorelynn the best.

    I knew a Lorelei growing up - she'd be around 20 by now. That's the only Lorelei I've ever known.

    This. I also think nameberry is also guilty of this too. I know one Lorelei IRL and she'll be 3 in February. I like it and think it's a pretty name that ages well.

    I LOVE the name and don't think it's too popular.  It reminds me of Gilmore Girls, but I think it's beautiful and fitting for a girl and a woman.
