The first name 
Lore

Lore is a first name for girls.

Lore – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Lore has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Lore. That means that a girl named Lore is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lore.

Lore -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Lore your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Lore never ranked higher than position 1,400 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Lore. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1961 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Lore because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Lore was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - looking for Lore?

As in the last century, Lore still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 6 times in the entire U.S. So, a Lore from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Lore -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Lore in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 146 women and girls named Lore, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 146 women and girls named Lore live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Illinois, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Lore. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Lore lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Lore and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Lore relative to its female population is Illinois. And even there, only one in 222,609 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Lore.

Lore has 4 letters 
and begins with an L

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.

With four letters, the name Lore is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

That means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.

Other names with 
L, o, r and e

If you take all the letters in the name Lore – L, o, r and e – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Leor or others.
