Lauren might have been trendy in the seventies, but I'd say that now it's a modern classic. I think we have
Lauren Bacall to thank for that. I really like
Lauren, even more so than
Laura;
Laura is more "classic" but a bit bland by comparison with
Lauren.
Lauren,
Katie and
Mackenzie are not dated for third-graders. In my daught'er's second-grade class there is a
Katelynn who is sometimes called
Katie, and a
Mckenzie.
