Whatever happened to Lauren

Inspired by a similar tread.

Whatever happened to the name Lauren?

As someone with a very common 80s name maybe it's the same but I'm surprised it hasnt made a comeback.

It sounds beautiful, the lovely L sound and with Wren being so popular I thought Lauren would be popular too. Also a great name if you are honouring a Laurence in the family.

As you can tell I really like it. So what's my hesitation?!?

I think it lacks the classic feel that Laura has.

I had 7 Laurens in the same class whilst doing A Levels. It was a weird Lauren hotspot, and I have only met one other one since!

It's been left back in the 90s where it belongs... It's not a name I like. Laura is much nicer.

I love it!

Very unpopular but known and pretty imo.

It's a nice name but every one of them I've ever met had been a knob, so I wouldn't use it 🙈

Catherine Tate ruined it 😂
