Also, here is a video of us in the hospital sharing the name with my family for the first time. The woman next to me is my Grandma Marilyn. Her reaction to us telling her we have given Lorelei her middle name is very touching.

Why the name - Lorelei Marilyn?
Lorelei is the title of a song by Daddy's favorite band, STYX. In essence, it's a tribute to all of the great music that has been an unobtrusive companion to Daddy for his whole life. Lorelei is a beautiful, strong, feminine, German name that means "alluring." Legend has it that Lorelei sits high above a rock on the Rhine river near Germany singing her soft melody. Daddy, Mommy (and now Lorelei) are of German descent. Marilyn is Mommy's maternal Grandmother who has been an influential presence for all of Mommy's life. Fun fact: Lorelei is a character played by Marilyn Monroe in the movie, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
