Lauren

[cakeismysaviour]

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?

Just to throw a spanner in the works, where I come from it was common as in chavvy. Depends where you are, I suppose!

Chavvy . It's hardly on the same level as Chardonnay, is it?

Ruined by Catherine Tate for me sadly. Presume that's where the chav comments come from? I'd go for good old fashioned Laura instead.

Yes, Lauren is nice but I too much prefer Laura. It's such a classic and pretty name

Had forgotten about the Catherine Tate connection!

Its still firmly on the list now, though. :)

Not so keen on Laura.

My american grandfather was called Loren. I will be using for my next DS/D. I will just change the spelling. So two thumbs up from me!

I like it :)

Lovely name. Seemed much more popular about 10 yrs ago (I work with children so meet quite a few!) but not sure why not these days.

I love the name- would've been on our list if sis in law wasn't called Laura!

Agree that here Lauren is considered a bit 'popular' although I like the name.

Really like it x

I love it. My little sister is called Lauren and I wish I had been instead! She gets calls Lol or Lolly mostly though. (or Lollypop by me!)

I got Lisa-Marie and still get asked if my mum was an elvis fan! (she wasn't!)
