Re: Lauryn
in reply to a message by noisynora
Lauryn just seems like a tacky 80's spelling of Lauren.
Lauren is better than Lauryn but still not great. It's just too common in my age group and a little older.
(other Laur names: Laura is nicer than Lauren, but I prefer Laurel. And I like a lot of the "too long" ones like Laurana, Laurena, Laurienne, etc.)
ETA: I'd be okay with something like Lauryn if it actually changed the pronunciation. Like lor-INN spelled Lauryn, Laurinn, Laurynn. I still think most of those look bad but it would at least be a variant instead of just a (dated) trendy spelling. Or Lauryne / Laurine prn. lor-een or even lor-ein, or Lauryna / Laurina.
