A new suggestion from DP and one I would ever have thought of myself.

I can't decide whether I like it or not.

Any thoughts?

I like the sound of it but prefer Loren to Lauren spelling wise :)

MrsBingo · 25/08/2012 22:12

Lauren. To me it is a kind of wholesome, sensible, clean name. A bit polo playing as well.

Thanks for replies. :)

Its not a name you hear much nowadays but hearing it now, I really quite like it.

NanaNina · 25/08/2012 22:16

I thought it was American along with Callum, Harrison, Maddison etc - maybe wrong and of course there's nothing wrong with American names.

I like it. A good solid name, not too popular but well known and sounds nice.

vodkaanddietirnbru · 25/08/2012 22:18

thats dd's friend's name (both age 8)

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 25/08/2012 22:19

I love it.

Schmasch · 25/08/2012 22:19

I really like it. :)

perceptionreality · 25/08/2012 22:20

It's somewhere in the top 100 isn't it? It may have been more popular 10 years ago. I know a few Laurens. I think it's a nice name.

NoComet · 25/08/2012 22:21

We have a 10 year old Lauren.

I much prefer Laura or Lisa. Lauren is too new fangled.

TheOriginalNutcracker · 25/08/2012 22:22

I have a 14yr old Lauren and I still love the name.

deste · 25/08/2012 22:23

There are lots of Laurens in NE of Scotland.

akaemmafrost · 25/08/2012 22:24

I really like it.

cakeismysaviour · 25/08/2012 22:31

Thanks all for your thoughts and honest reactions.

I really am getting more and more keen on this name now. :)

Classy, elegant name. I like it.

Floggingmolly · 25/08/2012 22:37

It's my dd's name, naturally I love it Smile

Tangointhenight · 25/08/2012 22:39

It's really beautiful! Such a classic :)

marshmallowpies · 25/08/2012 22:39

Love it. Lauren Laverne is a pretty cool namesake to have!

ParaOlympicpark · 25/08/2012 22:39

Very nice name.

CanoeSlalom · 25/08/2012 22:41

I like it :)

Pochemuchka · 25/08/2012 22:43

I like it. And every Lauren I've met (only a few of a variety of ages) has been lovely.

HiHowAreYou · 25/08/2012 22:54

I'm sure I read a thread here once where everyone was saying it was 'common', I was coming to defend it. I like the name!

Lozario · 25/08/2012 22:57

I'm a Lauren! Get called Loz these days but love being a Lauren officially. It seems to be one of those names that people think is common but actually I don't know any other Laurens. Grin

Badgerina · 25/08/2012 23:46

Like. It's not a name I'd use myself, but I think it's very elegant.
