So i have heard some many mixed opinions on this one. "It's mean to do to a boy!" or "I love how unique it is." Oh well i love it!! The only problem is what middle names would be best?
The two i like so far are Loren Blake and Loren Weston but the boyfriend isn't to big of a fan. Any suggestions?!
The BF also likes Loren as the middle name so any combinations you can think up would be VERY helpful :)
Thanks!

Well in my family the name Loren/Loran for boys is extremely common as it is a family name. My name is actually Lauren, the first girl in my family to inherit the name. So to me it is perfectly normal to have the name associated with boys because it is after all a boys name.

Suggestions:
Loren Randall
Loren Bryson
Loren Easton
Loren Kyle/Kyler
Loren Michael
Loren Cade
Loren Callum
Loren Jameson
Loren Paul
Loren Keirnan
Loren Kendall
Loren Tate
Loren River
Loren Benjamin
Loren Mason
Loren Adam
Loren Jacob/Jacoby
Loren Kacen
Loren Grayson
Loren Jace
Loren Silas
Loren Abel
Loren Riley
Loren Simon
Loren Blair
Loren Blaine
Loren Asher/Archer
Loren Jackson
Loren Eli
Loren Levi
Loren Bentley
Loren Brody
Loren Alexander
Loren Marcus
Loren Noah
Loren Kaiden
Loren Tyson
Loren Jensen
Loren Patrick
Loren Tyler
Loren Gabriel
Loren Carter

Honestly I can only see Loren as a first name personally so I can't really think of any combos with Loren as a middle name.

Like any? :)

I like Loren. I'd definitely go with a strong, classically masculine MN to offset any confusion. Like William, Michael, James, Matthew, Mark, etc.

Loren is too feminine to me, sorry. I like the sound of it though. Have you considered Logan, Landon, Lyndon / Linden, or Lawrence?

It is too feminine to me, too, but if you like it, go for it. Go with a really masculine middle name, though.

How about William Loren? or Andrew Loren, Benjamin Loren, Henry Loren, Oliver Loren, Channing Loren, or Sawyer Loren?

Exactly! It was my grandfathers name and it's my middle name, and i see absolutely nothing wrong with it being my sons name :) Our last name is Smith (super common blah) so these are my favorite out of the list of suggestions! Thank you so much.
For the middle option i am loving William Loren and Channing Loren, but i still think i like Loren more as a first name.

I went to school with a boy named Loren, and it was spelled the exact same way. No one ever thought it was weird, I've always thought Lauren/Loren was a very unisex name. I say go with it!

I actually really like Loren on a boy! I think it's similar enough to many popular boy names that it would work in today's world! If a girl can be named Logan, why can't a boy be named Loren?

How about some of these:

Loren Abram / Abraham
Loren Alexander
Loren Heath
Loren Joshua
Loren Dmitri
Loren Vincent
Loren Wesley

I think Loren could work on a boy. I think I pronounce it a tad different from Lauren. For the girl I pron it (LAUH ren) for a boy (LOR en). I also think the name Toren could work for a boy. If both you and your boyfriend love the name, then that is what matters. Good Luck!
