Settle dispute---Is this name "dated"?

Ambrandy

Lauren

I don't think so.... but compared to names like apple and honor it's just not as unique.

It is not dated.  I would consider it 'classic'

It will be for some, but not for me - Laura is more dated in my area than Lauren. And I think of Lauren Bacall - lovely L name.

No, it's still popular. It wasn't in the top 200 names until 1970 so it's not classic like Laura (which has been popular since the 1880s). It's a nice name.

I don't think of it as dated. I think it's somewhere between Laura (classic) and Laurel (old-fashioned).

I love Lauren.  I think it is a pretty, classic name without being stuffy.  It was on my short list with both pregnancies.

No I definitely like the name Lauren- don't consider it dated at all.

nope

I don't think so.  I really like it, though I prefer Laura.

No. I'm surprised its not more popular with the "Hills" or whatever thoses shows were on MTV.

I don't think it's as dated as Jennifer or Amber, but it does have a slightly retro vibe to it.  I like it

I feel the exact opposite lol.  I put it in the category of Jennifer, Jessica, Ashley and crew.  It's not a bad name, just not one that I would use.

Not at all.

I love it!

Lauren isn't dated, but i do prefer Laurel...which is a bit old-fashioned.

No, I've never actually known a Lauren my age; they've all been younger.

I do think it's a little bit dated. I can't count how many Lauren's I've known my age 1984. But I still think it's a perfectly pretty name and still very usable if you love it!

Mmm ... slightly, but not too much, IMO.

Nope, its a classic.
