1. Very 80s--I grew up with a boatload of them. I like it--but only on a boy. On a girl, it's boring.

2. Lauren, because Laurin just looks odd. People would misspell it constantly.

---

3. I think I like Lauren Mae Provancha best.

4. They're definitely in the same style, but my perceptions are different from yours, ha. Lauren and Claire are both 80s to the max to me; Lauren feels like the John Hughes character time forgot. (Of course, no one's forgotten Claire, Molly Ringwald's character in The Breakfast Club.) Both names are utterly overused in my area (the Midwest United States) and have been for almost twenty years now.

5. I like Alyssa better than Lauren, but I like Lauren better than Alexis. All of them have been overused since about 1985, though--so I'm not particularly fond of them.

I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun.
