Help[Opinions] Laura, but I'm biased (m)
in reply to a message by Kelseyyy
because my name is Laura. I've loved having the name growing up, even though it was super popular the year I was born (top 40). I think it holds a lot more history and class than Lauren, which is a silly trendy offshoot birthed in the 20th century. Please, stick with the original; there are so many wonderful namesakes and ties to Laura that Lauren simply can't carry, and Laura is just plain prettier.

I hugely agree! Plus, with Lauren there's the French problem ... Laurent with the -t silent for a boy, and Laurence for a girl ... which using Lauren for a girl just tangles up even worse.
