Lauren
in reply to a message by Luvbug86
I've always preferred Lauren, the main reason being that I know a lot of Laura's but I've known very few Lauren's.
I had both a friend named Laura and a friend named Lauren. Laura is still like family to me and Lauren moved away in 4th or 5th grade. I grew up looking up to Laura Ingalls Wilder. My mother's name is the fairly similar Loretta. There were many Laura's at school and I have run across many right around my age so Laura has alwaya felt a bit more bland to me.
Also I do like that Lauren is a little less feminine and a bit more unisex than Laura. Something about Lauren also seems cool and a bit sexy maybe because of Lauren Bacall. Laura will always seem like a spunky frontier girl name which I do like the image of. Really if Laura was less popular I'd probably care for it just as much as Lauren.

Favorite Names:
Aurora, Hazel, Josephine, Vivian, Fiona, Delphina, Dorothea, Althea, Artemis, Sabrina, Frida, Maeve, Luna, Iris, Clara, Aveline, Matilda, Marguerite
Ciaran, Rowan, Brendan, Malcolm, Felix, Robin, Julian, Tristan, Magnus, Arthur, Adrian, Cedar, Cedric, Xavier, Connor, Silas, Gavin
