Lauren

Lauren was one of our top choices last time but we didn't use it. This time, DH still loves it but I was no longer sold. Is there ANY other nickname you've heard for Lauren other than Laurie?? I don't really think I'm missing any options here.

I like having a NM option but am not sure about "Laurie." We would likely have to just try to call her Lauren.

I love the name Lauren. I don't think every name needs a NM.

Every Lauren that I know is just called Lauren.

With the exception of Lauren Elizabeth who went by Libby.

I like Lauren too.  I don't think it needs a nn (none of the Laurens I've known have used one), but what about Ren?

I don't know any Lauren who goes by Laurie. They are completely separate names. All the Laurens I know don't have a nickname.

I know many Laurens and Lauras and they just don't have nicknames.

I don't think nicknames for your daughter should be an issue yet. Nicknames grow organically. You might end up calling her Lo or Lolly or Betty for all you know. Don't let nicknames get in the way.

I'm a Lauren.  Everyone usually just says Laur if they're not sayong the full name.

My mom always called me (and sometimes still does) Laurzy Warzy.

Laurie really isn't a nickname for Lauren, it's its own name, just like Laura isn't a nickname for Lauren either. 

My name is Lauren and people call me Lauren.  Friends and family call me Laur.

I've known several Laurens and none have had nicknames. I think it's a beautiful name.
