Usage has remained rare but consistent, most often in the United States and Canada. Variants and related spellings include Lauralee, Laura-Lee, Laura Lee, Laurelee, Laurelie, Lauralie, Lauraleigh, and Lorilee; phonetic cousin Lorelei is occasionally associated but derives from a German toponym and legend.
