HelpRe: Lauren or Laura
in reply to a message by )(
I would have named a daughter Laura without hesitation, if we hadn't been committed to Beatrice. Lauren is pale and drab by comparison.
Fun fact: a French friend of mine was teaching French in England (having previously taught English in France!) and arranged French penfriends for the girls in her second-year class, so they could practise writing, learn about France at first hand, etc, etc. And the list arrived and she gave each girl a French correspondent. One child, aged about 12/13, was delighted at her luck: unlike her friends, she'd got a BOY penfriend. A brief explanation about the difference between Laurence in French and in English popped her bubble.
