Down to 2 names for our girl! Julia or Laura? :)

One of theses names Julia Brooke or Laura Brooke will be THE name for our 2nd little girl! I think they are both beautiful and classic:) Ava is the big sister! One day I'm all Laura…the next day it's Julia…hahaha! It's driving me crazy. My hubby is fine with either one. His great Aunt (who passed away years ago) was Julia. We wouldn't be naming the little one after her, it's just a coincidence:)

What's your vote? Why? Just curious.

Thanks in advance!

Laura is my vote (although I prefer Lauren). I just think it feels fresher than Julia. Laura Brooke is pretty.

My favorite is Julia, but Laura is also beautiful. I don't hear it on babies and children very often.

I like both, but I'm voting Julia simply because I prefer Lauren to Laura.

It's really a tie for me. I think both names are very pretty. You can't go wrong either way. I'm no help, sorry. I guess if I had to choose I think I like Julia better with Ava.

Definitely Julia!

Julia Lauren?
I love Julia and Laura, but I'm not sold on Brooke!

Julia!

I prefer Julia overall. Very pretty. Laura reminds me of a homely girl I knew growing up.... I prefer Lauren

I love Julia way more, but I think Laura Brooke sounds better.

Laura, Laura, Laura!!!  It was at the top of my list, but DH vetoed it.  Beautiful and classic!

Julia! Love it!

I know this won't help at all, but I love both names!! You have a couple of really great names picked out.

Maybe keep both in mind until delivery. Some parents say that they knew one name fit when they finally saw their LO.

I really love Julia.  I feel as though Laura is kind of dated.

I don't have a great association with the name Julia (it's my bratty little cousin's name), so my vote is for Laura. They are both good names though.

Laura since it's my name! I love it and you don't hear it used that much anymore, but it's classic. You can't go wrong though (I love Julia too).

I like both, but prefer Laura. Don't know the rankings, but Laura seems less common, which makes it preferable IMO. At least, Julia comes up fairly often on this board, and Laura rarely. And I know a 5 year old Julia, but no young Laura's.

I really like both But Julia has a slight edge.

Julia. Laura feels dated to me, whereas Julia feels more classic.

sparklemotion86

Laura. I have a friend named Laura and she's the bestest

SidraJedi

Laura.

Both are good but Laura is better.

Another vote for Julia!

Laura is pretty, but I prefer Lauren. I like Julia over Lauren though.

My girls are Ava and Julia, so yeah. I may be biased. :-)

This, Julia is nice but I hear Juliet/Julia more often. So Laura!

BC&LM

Julia hands down. Laura is pretty and all, but it can't beat Julia for me.

tisa99

Julia!

WestIsleFlower

This was really hard but I vote Julia. You can't go wrong with either. Both are beautiful names!

Same, even that it's my sisters name too! It's just so classic and perfectly "lovely."

ETA to add that I feel like you'd get such a nice response when you tell people her name is Laura. It's almost surprising because you just don't hear it much these days where Julia you hear all the time.

sulsa78

We have decided on Julia!! My heart is set on that name and I love it! Just trying to figure out a nice middle name!
