Re: Laura
in reply to a message by skifox
I think Laura is a nice classic that suits all ages. It has been significantly declining in popularity in the past 20 years (in 1989 it was #25 and last year it was #215!). Laurel and even Lauren have also been declining as well (although Lauren remains popular at #30). The declining popularity of Laura and similar names would make me more inclined to use it.
I do find it a little boring and prefer Laurel or Lauren.
ETA: I only like Laura if it's pronounced LOR-a (rather than LAR-a or LOW-ra.) I also like the spelling Lora.
