What do people like better for a girl -- Lauren Elizabeth or Charlotte Grace? For a boy, we're pretty set on Andrew James (Andrew was the name of my husband's late father, and my two grandfathers were James). Thanks!

I actually really like both and can see why you are having a hard time deciding. That said, I think I would go with Lauren - I would love to see it make a comeback.
Charlotte makes me wanna stab myself in the ears. It's all over... And, I despise Charlie as a NN.
Lauren is a wonderful name. In fact, it is by far my favorite girl name.
Well, I certainly wasn't going to use Charlie as a nn. It's easy enough to just say Charlotte. I agree that Charlotte is everywhere, though it sucks because Charlotte was the name of my ballet teacher when I was growing up (since I was 4, which was, gasp, 29 years ago) and I loved her and therefore loved the name before it became trendy.
I think we'll probably end up going with Lauren Elizabeth. It's my husband's favorite of the two, whereas I'm more torn. Seems fair that if one of us has a clear preference, that's what we should go with. Thanks, ladies!
Re: We're pretty standard, but...
Like Andrew James a lot. I think Drew would make sure a nice NN.
For a girl I like Charlotte Elizabeth best.

I prefer Laurel to Lauren & Laurel Elizabeth is lovely
I like Lauren a lot more than Charlotte.
Plus I think Charlotte is very over used right now.
