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

I love it, my dd is Laura Emily.

Will you pronounce it Lora or Lau-ra (to rhyme with cloud)?

Oh I'm glad everyone is so positive! I was worried it was too plain or something.
It's really grown on me and now I love it, my little boy came up with it. I just need to think of middle name 😩

I like it. I've known a French Laura and an Italian Laura but don't think I've ever even met an English one.

Beautiful

I'm a Laura so I love it! Very common when I was a child but have never met a baby Laura.

I love the name, definitely a classic.

Tumilnaughts · 02/05/2018 22:41

It's one of my all time favourites. If I have another girl I want Laura as her name.

RLOU88 · 02/05/2018 22:38

Love it. I’m sitting here wondering why i didn’t think of it Grin

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 02/05/2018 22:38

Very refreshing now a days. I'm confident she'll be the only one in her class.

FellOutOfBed2wice · 02/05/2018 22:37

Solid. Dependable. Classic name.

DramaAlpaca · 02/05/2018 22:36

Very nice.

BevBrook · 02/05/2018 22:35

I think it is lovely. If I wasn’t called what I am called I would like to be Laura. Or Lara.

Love it.

felicitythemangyfox · 02/05/2018 22:34

I like it Smile

It was very popular in my generation but is quite unusual nowadays. A nice choice.
