“Lorainians” is what I started calling the followers of Lorain 365 when I began the blog. I like the way it sounds and thought it made us sound a little more resilient than Lorainites [lorain-lites?]. I’ve seen the people of Lorain referred to as “Lorainies” and “Lorainers” online, too. There really aren’t any rules when it comes to demonyms, people will eventually decide what they want to call themselves. When I see someone use Lorainian it makes me 🙂 Sometimes it shows up in the most unexpected places, like here: http://lorainian.webs.com/
Not nitpicking but I’ve always thought it was Lorainite. I suppose it could also be Lorainer, Lorainee or as put here Lorainian.
