Laura

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

Lovely name

Another positive vote; it's beautiful.

I think Frances or Marianne would be lovely middle names with it.

I love it! I don't understand why it's not more popular.

I think its a bit dated, much prefer Lara or Lauren. Though its still a nice name. Some middle names that would sound lovely would be:
Laura Jo
Laura Renée
Laura Madeleine
Laura Michelle
Laura Jane
Laura Elise

Such a timeless name!

Middle name ideas:

Laura Charlotte
Laura Jane
Laura Louise
Laura Marie
Laura Giselle

❤️ Laura, gorgeous name.
Laura Eloise
Laura Josephine
Laura Daisy
Laura Jasmine

Laura is lovely.

Laura Elizabeth

I'm not a fan sorry but don't listen to me as majority like it. It reminds me of school days in the 80s when everyone was Laura, Lisa, Michelle, Karen, Debbie etc

Beautiful name

I'm Laura. All Laura's I've ever met have been amazing ;).

I think it’s lovely, both Laura and Lara are amongst my favourite names.

It's my middle name, I don't like it! If you love it though definitely don't let anyone change your mind. I like a PP suggestion of Laura Jane

Re: middle names (poster above), I'm Laura Margaret. I never liked "Margaret" but now I look at it written down it does have a nice ring to it! Aren't middle names usually taken from other family members though?

Lovely name and so unusual nowadays. I like someone’s suggestion of Laura Juliet

I think it is a bit dated to be honest. I prefer Lauren.

It's a classic name.
Very popular around 20 years ago.

I like it. A classic.

I really like Laura.
My DD also has a classic name that was very popular 20 years ago but not now. Everyone always comments on how it's a lovely name but not very common now. I love how she will be the only one in her class, but not because it's an odd name! Also everyone knows how to spell it!

Beautiful name

Lovely name. Every Laura I know is lovely.

I'm not a fan, personally. It still seems quite outdated to me, and not the "classic" others on this thread are claiming it to be. Classics are never out of fashion, but Laura has had a burst in popularity, followed by a steep decline, which makes it more cyclical and less classic.

I prefer Lauren, though think that is still outdated too.

I really like it, it’s a really pretty name.

I'm a 35yo Laura Jane and I grew up hating how boring my name was.

That was entirely due to its popularity though so I'm sure today I would probably like it.

I like Laura Elizabeth too. Lovely name

I liked Laura, was on our list. We went with Kate in the end though.
