Re: Lauren, Laura, and Laurel
in reply to a message by Emma Cummings
Laura, Lauren and Laurel are certainly not dated. It seems that every other girl I meet, no matter whether university, high school, middle school or preschool aged, is named Lauren. Laura, though not as ubiquitous as Lauren, is still far from being stale. I would guess that for every Laura I know, I know six Laurens (and Laurans/Laurins/Lauryns).
Laurel probably sounds the freshest of the Laur- names. I know only two (one's in high school, one's a young adult) and so I'd rather see another Laurel than Laura or Lauren (especially Lauren).
As for the combos, there are lots of nice (if dreadfully boring and plain) names, but I'm not dazzled by any of the combos. They look exactly like the combos I'd expect to see in birth announcements around my area. The only one that I really like (and I love it, actually) is Anna Laura. Laura Violet is ok, too.
Suggestions (which can be reversible):
Davina Lauren
Cecilia Lauren
Aurelia Lauren
Fiona Lauren
Matilda Lauren
Miranda Lauren
Maria Lauren
Ophelia Lauren
Virginia Lauren
Joanna Lauren
Juliana Lauren
Eva Lauren
Heidi Lauren
Susannah Lauren
Monica Lauren
Laura Clementine
Laura Esther
Laura Mathilde
Laura Poppy
Laura Imogen
Laura Felicity
Laura Seraphina
Laura Georgiana
Laura Prudence
Laura Evangeline
Laura Suzanne
Laura Cecily
