Lauren is my bete noire. It's REALLY common here, whereas my name, Laurel, isn't.

I don't mind so much when people mishear, but I really get annoyed when I've emailed or written to a person and get the response 'Dear Lauren'. ..

Of the two names I get called more often than my own, I prefer Laura to Lauren

You just taught me a new phrase.

I like Laurel more than both of them :)

Me too! The phrase thing, that is. I actually love Lauren! It's a real classic.
