[Opinions] Lauren
I've always preferred Lauren, the main reason being that I know a lot of Laura's but I've known very few Lauren's.I had both a friend named Laura and a friend named Lauren. Laura is still like family to me and Lauren moved away in 4th or 5th grade. I grew up looking up to Laura Ingalls Wilder. My mother's name is the fairly similar Loretta. There were many Laura's at school and I have run across many right around my age so Laura has alwaya felt a bit more bland to me.Also I do like that Lauren is a little less feminine and a bit more unisex than Laura. Something about Lauren also seems cool and a bit sexy maybe because of Lauren Bacall. Laura will always seem like a spunky frontier girl name which I do like the image of. Really if Laura was less popular I'd probably care for it just as much as Lauren.

Yes - Lauren has an almost tangible softness to it.Yes - Lauren has an almost tangible softness to it; and it is always easy to shorten it to Laura or any other (spelling?) variation.
