First Impressions

AI-Written
The name reads as streamlined midcentury paperwork, unbothered by unnecessary vowels. A Lora is generally presumed to have been born during the Kennedy or Johnson administrations, with the average bearer now fifty-seven years old. The primary occupational hazard of the name is spending five decades correcting people who attempt to insert a *u* into it.
