What do you think? 🤔

(Middle name flow isn't very important to me, it's probably going to be Juliana. Or Ann.)

I love it. A really pretty name. I might have called a child of mine that if it had crossed my mind. Too late now!

It's a hedge. Lauren, laura, Lori or laury are nice though.

It's better than Lauren, which I don't like at all, but it is too closely associated with Hardy.

Laura is lovely.

I don’t like it sorry

Cbeebiesrehab · 02/02/2020 13:32

I grew up with one. I like it, pretty and underused, not too cutesy. Her parents used to call her Lolly when she was little.

It’s lovely. I like Ruth and Alice too

I really like it. I don't know any, of any age. Really pretty.

Agree with pp, very dated but if you like it that's all that matters. It's an OK name and won't raise eyebrows, Laurel Juliana is actually quite pretty.

Poppydaisies · 02/02/2020 12:56

Laurel and Hardy. Weren't they men?

To me, this is the epitome of a name that is dated rather than vintage chic. Unless you're naming a girl who was born in the 80s/90s, I wouldn't. Sorry.
