Well we've finally decided on a name for our little girl x Laura, what does everyone think when they hear it

It's a classic name.
Very popular around 20 years ago.

DuchyDuke · 03/05/2018 07:22

I think it is a bit dated to be honest. I prefer Lauren.

Elllicam · 03/05/2018 07:21

Lovely name and so unusual nowadays. I like someone’s suggestion of Laura Juliet

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 03/05/2018 07:14

Re: middle names (poster above), I'm Laura Margaret. I never liked "Margaret" but now I look at it written down it does have a nice ring to it! Aren't middle names usually taken from other family members though?

BangingOn · 03/05/2018 07:13

I think it’s lovely, both Laura and Lara are amongst my favourite names.

PandaCat · 03/05/2018 07:13

It's my middle name, I don't like it! If you love it though definitely don't let anyone change your mind. I like a PP suggestion of Laura Jane

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 03/05/2018 07:11

I'm Laura. All Laura's I've ever met have been amazing ;).

bananaramasllama · 03/05/2018 07:11

Beautiful name

Pompom42 · 03/05/2018 07:07

I'm not a fan sorry but don't listen to me as majority like it. It reminds me of school days in the 80s when everyone was Laura, Lisa, Michelle, Karen, Debbie etc

AHintOfStyle · 03/05/2018 07:07

Laura is lovely.

Laura Elizabeth

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/05/2018 07:03

❤️ Laura, gorgeous name.
Laura Eloise
Laura Josephine
Laura Daisy
Laura Jasmine

fearfultrill · 03/05/2018 01:15

Such a timeless name!

Middle name ideas:

Laura Charlotte
Laura Jane
Laura Louise
Laura Marie
Laura Giselle

blairsey · 03/05/2018 01:11

I think its a bit dated, much prefer Lara or Lauren. Though its still a nice name. Some middle names that would sound lovely would be:
Laura Jo
Laura Renée
Laura Madeleine
Laura Michelle
Laura Jane
Laura Elise

Amomentofbeauty · 03/05/2018 01:10

I love it! I don't understand why it's not more popular.

sycamore54321 · 03/05/2018 01:09

Another positive vote; it's beautiful.

I think Frances or Marianne would be lovely middle names with it.

thedishonthecoffeetable · 03/05/2018 01:07

Lovely name

AnyaMoondial · 03/05/2018 01:00

Yep really like it. Excellent name.

Buntysoven · 03/05/2018 00:04

My sis in law is Laura and she's amazing! Her middle name is Juliet.

Bellabutterfly2016 · 02/05/2018 23:58

Love the name Laura it's traditional but not too old fashioned great choice

RoundaboutSnail · 02/05/2018 23:50

Very nice and quite unusual now.

KirstenRaymonde · 02/05/2018 23:40

@pipilangstrumpf there’s only one pronounciation of Laura...?

sunnyjune · 02/05/2018 23:36

Lovely!

lottiegarbanzo · 02/05/2018 23:16

Yes, really nice. Happens to be uncommon at the moment but everyone has heard of it and can probably spell it.

LadyGAgain · 02/05/2018 23:13

Laura is a beautiful name. Stylish, classic and pretty. Congrats on your new baby

FawnDrench · 02/05/2018 23:04

It's a very pretty, but strong and classy name - really lovely.
