Laura

[Username109823222]

I'm due a baby next month and considering the name Laura.
Any opinions?
My mum said it's too 80s!

Love it!

There is a Laura in my 9yo DDs class, I also have a cousin Laura, it’s a name I’ve always loved and think it’s a classic that ages well.

I like it too. You don't have to follow the trends in names!

Agree with this.

My Laura was born in 2000, we don’t know many others her age - she seems to like it, we certainly do.

Don't mention it to anyone until your baby arrives. I just sat there going through baby name lists and dropped the name in to see my mums reaction and she hated the name we chose, we still chose it.

I could have been a Laura but I ended up a 'Roof' 😭 I wish my mum had been firmer in that argument 😂

My almost 2 year old is a Laura. Love the name and really suits our family.

It’s a lovely name and all the older names are making a come back anyway. (And it’s not that old!)
If we had a girl I wanted to call her Esther ! I love older names

Laura is a lovely name, go for it

I think it's a lovely name. My niece is a Laura. and she's lovely. She was a mid 90s baby .

I maybe biased but it’s an amazing name 😄

Also I have about 6 friends also called Laura (all in 40’s!)

I really like it.

I love it!
Top ten for me.
Im a big Little House on the Prairie fan!

Really dislike it, it's very dated, the Lauras I know are all 40 and 50 something

I really like the name, but not the English pronounciation of it (Lora). I like the Italian and Scandinavian pronounciation (Lau-rah).

My French teacher was called Laureline, which would shorten to Laura and I thought was wonderfully romantic sounding

Classic pretty name. Solid choice

I love it. DH would have wanted it if we'd had another daughter and I would have been happy with it too

I like Laura,know so many.

Lauren Is also nice or laurie-lee

I love it, and it was on my list. Suits a little girl or an adult and I would have loved to have been called it.

funnily enough my grandmother, born 1916, always referred to it as “an old lady’s name” as when she was young, it was only old women who were called it!

I think it’s a classic name.

I like it. I think it's ageless.

Laura is a lovely name

Beautiful name

It's a classic

Yes I have a cousin who was born in the 80s named Laura but it was also the name of my great grandmother and there are a few dotted around in my family at all different ages.

I really like it

I have a cousin called Laura (in her 40s) and know about 10 others as friends (30s and 20s), it's way too common in my life for me to ever pick as a name. Same with James for a boy!
