Mary or Lauren

[sunrainwind]

Which one do you like the most? I'm expecting number three - we have a Ben and a Hannah. Another boy will be Sam(uel) but we can't agree on a girl's name. Lauren and Mary are our current favourites but also like Catherine/Kate/Katie and Sophie.

Sophie then Lauren then Kate. Not Mary but Marie/Maria maybe could be above Sophie.

Mary!

Katie and Sophie are fine but very popular. I'm not a fan of Lauren and it strikes me as a different sort of name from your other choices. Ben, Hannah and Mary would be lovely.

Mary.

Sophie and Kate are overused and a little boring. I don't like Lauren at all.

I don't like Lauren at all.I think it sounds harsh - like Lorrin.

Mary is lovely and gentle sounding, and I love Kate, Katie and Sophie.
Catherine is nice, and I think that Cathy is due a comeback.

Mary might disappear into the May, Maya, Mia type names.

DD1 is a Kate, so you can guess which one I'd go for but all the names are nice apart from Lauren.

Mary, definitely, over Lauren.

I love Lauren! Think a baby Lauren would be quite refreshing to hear! Good luck deciding

Love Lauren and Kate.

I love Mary. If I had another girl she would be Mary.
I used to like Lauren but not so much now. Laura, Lara it Laurel all sound nicer to me.

I prefer Kate or Catherine to either Lauren or Mary.

What about Laura?

Mary was my nickname for my vagina growing up so I couldn't name my child that lol. I love the name Lauren though

Mary or Catherine, don't really like Lauren.

Mary
I think it is a lovely name had on girl list.

Mary.
Strong, classic name. Timeless.

Lauren sounds a little dated to me. I love Mary, though - it's strong and timeless. If I'd had a girl she'd have been Mary.

Because Lauren has been popular a while, people have known Lauren’s and are choosing based on those people rather than the name. Not so many people will have been at school with Marys.

I love Lauren, I like names ending in N.

Lauren - far out in front ahead of the others.

Mary is very dated to my ears. But Mairi or Mhairi would work.

You have a similar taste to me.some of your choices are my dc names. Definitely not Lauren, I've never met a nice one.

I'd go Sophie or Katie to go with your dc names.

I love the name Lauren. (My DD is a Lauren). Sophie has always been a name I like too.

Mary and Kate are ok. They are all nice names. I'm not keen on Katherine/Catherine though. I much prefer Kate or Katie although I would always have the full proper name on the birth certificate.

Sophie but I have a Sophie timeless name

Mary sounds stout and sensible to my ears. Sophie would be my preference from your list.

I love the name Mary. Pretty and gentle to my ears. Ive got a Joseph though so...

I have a Lauren, it's a lovely name.
Mary is a very dated name, I've never liked it.

I like Mary. It's due a revival I reckon.

Mary or Sophie, however I do like Lauren as well! Catherine sounds a bit outdated and I really don't like Katie.

Mary is a great name. Simple, travels well, well known but not too common in her age range.

I can't stand Sophie, it's wishy washy and overused. Lauren is nice tbf but Mary is better. Catherine is ok but meh.
