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

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

felicitythemangyfox · 02/05/2018 22:34

I like it Smile

ScoobyGangMember · 02/05/2018 22:35

Love it.

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.

DramaAlpaca · 02/05/2018 22:36

Very nice.

FellOutOfBed2wice · 02/05/2018 22:37

Solid. Dependable. Classic name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 02/05/2018 22:38

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

RLOU88 · 02/05/2018 22:38

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

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.

OverTheMountain42 · 02/05/2018 22:42

I love the name, definitely a classic.

MonaTheMoaner · 02/05/2018 22:43

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

MollyHuaCha · 02/05/2018 22:48

Beautiful

Somersetter · 02/05/2018 22:50

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.

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 😩

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

CarriMarie · 02/05/2018 23:00

I love it, my dd is Laura Emily.

FawnDrench · 02/05/2018 23:04

It's a very pretty, but strong and classy name - really lovely.

You need a whole other thread about a possible middle name to go with it!

LadyGAgain · 02/05/2018 23:13

Laura is a beautiful name. Stylish, classic and pretty. Congrats on your new baby

lottiegarbanzo · 02/05/2018 23:16

Yes, really nice. Happens to be uncommon at the moment but everyone has heard of it and can probably spell it.

sunnyjune · 02/05/2018 23:36

Lovely!

KirstenRaymonde · 02/05/2018 23:40

@pipilangstrumpf there’s only one pronounciation of Laura...?

RoundaboutSnail · 02/05/2018 23:50

Very nice and quite unusual now.

Bellabutterfly2016 · 02/05/2018 23:58

Love the name Laura it's traditional but not too old fashioned great choice

Buntysoven · 03/05/2018 00:04

My sis in law is Laura and she's amazing! Her middle name is Juliet.

AnyaMoondial · 03/05/2018 01:00

Yep really like it. Excellent name.
