Help[Opinions] Torelei?
My daughter likes these Monster High dolls, and they all have funky names that are all sort of a play on words. But there is this one doll, a werecat, called Torelei and I just don't get it. Is it somehow cat-related? I've heard of Lorelei, so I figured it was that + cat reference. I'm stumped. The other two cats are Purrsephone and Meowlody, which I get. Any ideas what the meaning of Torelei is supposed to be?

A quick google:
The first part of her name comes from the Japanese word tora, meaning "tiger", making her name a pun on the words "tiger stripe".
Her name is apparently Toralei, not Torelei.
