Re: Laura or Lauren?

I think I prefer Laura. I find it more classic and it will come back before Lauren does because Laura was mostly common in the 70s whereas Lauren seems more 90s and more dated. I also like the sound of Laura much better.

Until you mentioned it I didn't realize that Lauren was so popular in the early 90's. Strangely I was born in '87 and my sister in '90 and I only knew one Lauren but I knew like 4 or 5 Laura's. Looking at the US numbers in '87 Laura was just barely below Lauren in popularity and both were popular. Maybe Lauren was just less popular than Laura around where I grew up.

I looked up the state data and Laura was more popular than Lauren in my state in '87 the year I was born.
