It sounds fey and elf-like to me, like the name of a fantasy character.

I have trouble imagining it for a guy, without seeing

But if I had to guess, without that image, it'd maybe be somewhere between Loren and Craig.

I've seen it IRL as an older women's name, and I liked it then; it seemed simple and dignified on her, about like I hear Ruth but more offbeat. It makes me think of Lorna / Polaris from X-men comics, which makes it seem younger, I guess. I also like the idea of Norn / Norne as a feminine name.

I don't care for it. It sounds unpleasant and unfinished.

I don't like it. I've never seen it before and it sounds personality-less. Perhaps if I had an association I could read into it better, but I don't. It also sounds incomplete

Hi !!!

I have no links with Lorn / Lorne or Lorna.

---

I've just read the namesakes because I've no idea on famous bearers or the vibe that they have.

---

I rate all them 4/10.

I'm old enough, and watched enough damned TV as a kid, that it reminds me of Lorne Greene, who did the commentary on a mediocre nature documentary series called Lorne Greene's New Wilderness, and did commercials for Alpo dog food. He didn't seem terribly cool, handsome, or admirable to me at the time.

So now, to me it seems geriatric and kind of dorky.
And even if it didn't, it reminds me of the word lovelorn a whole lot. It even has the vibe, for me, of someone who would use that word with a straight face. Rhymes with mourn and scorn. Just unappealing to me. So I don't like it.
