On one hand, it seems like an 80s trend name, like Ashley. My mom says there was a Lauren craze in our city around the time I was born. I knew/know so many. When I was a kid, I had a fixation with this name (and many others). I thought it was glorious. I know I had a very rich friend named Lauren and she had a double staircase in her house and I was enamored with it, so that might be why. Anyway, I wanted to be a Lauren pretty badly for a while. (Also a Laura and strangely, a Laurie.) I still think that Lauren has a really pretty and gentle sound. I do like it. However, I also think it's kind of boring and I have known more deeply boring Laurens than boring people by any other name.

One of my guilty pleasure sibsets is Lauren, Megan, and Caitlin.
