Is Lauren too dated?

AFanch1127 · June 2012

I'm back again because I can't for the life of me find a name I truly *love* for this little girl. Big sis is Lyla Grace. Someone suggested the name Lauren for this LO, and the more I think of it the more I like it. MN will be June. I kind of like the idea of being able to use "Wren" as a nickname, or maybe even "Lo" like Lauren Conrad although I don't exactly love her.

Lauren June? WDYT?

I don't think so. I'd consider it a modern classic.

I don't like how both the fn and mn end in the N sound.

I LOVE the name Lauren, it's very pretty and it's not overused.

And this is so very lame that I know this...but Lauren Conrad went by LC, her friend Lauren something else went by Lo. LOL that I knew that.

I think it's dated but I like it. There is a newborn who joined the kid's DC w/ the name and I thought 'how refreshing to see the name on a little baby'. I like Lauren June.

Hmm, I had never thought of that. Doesn't bother me too much; my name is Allison June. June is a given as the middle name d/t family significance, but it's been so hard to find something to pair it with. Sounds pretty with a lot of names but I just don't *love* any of them.

I really like the name Lauren! I don't think it's dated at all.

Wufroggy79 · June 2012

I like it! Not dated at all.

I like the name Lauren.

First of all, I love the name Lauren, and for a while considered using it if I ever had a girl, to honor my MIL Laura, however I have an uncle Lauren, and I'm not sure I'd like that connection.

Also, Lo was named 'Loren' I do believe. But I went to school with a kid named 'Lorne' and that's what loren reminds me of. A bit too masculine.

Agreed. It was popular for girls our age but not a Jennifer or Ashley so it's not overdone.

I prefer Laurel though.

beaureve · June 2012

I really like it. It sounds nice with Lyla

sweetpea2003 · June 2012

I think Lauren is a classic. I love Lauren June.

Very pretty and not dated! My daughter's middle name is Lauren and her first name is Quinn, both n sounds and I think it still sounds good. Also my niece is named Lauren Audra.

DuggysMom · June 2012

Love it. My husband suggested Lauriana - it's not in any book or site, but I think it's pretty too.

And I love Wren. Love love.

DH loves the name Lauren it was his 2nd choice for our baby girl right after Hannah. I think it's a very pretty name just wasn't right for us.

Oh and I love love love June!

loolabell15 · June 2012

I like it a lot. It's my best friend's name.

mrebecca · June 2012

Lauren June is beautiful.

NicoleWI · June 2012

Lauren June is nice! I really like Lauren. It was our #2 girl pic the first time, and our top pick the second, but we had a boy. I really like it but for some reason I wasn't 100% absolutely sold. It will be on our list again this time.

breathlife · June 2012

Its a great name . not dated at all !

Aligator28 · June 2012

I like Lauren June.

Cranang · June 2012

I don't like the double n's, but I love Lauren!

g8trkim · June 2012

I think Lauren is a classic name. I like it.

Notwifezilla7 · June 2012

While I don't put it in the category of "Jennifer or Heather" I do see it as a rather common name. I prefer Laurel with Lyla.

dangerkitty102 · June 2012

It is too dated for my personal taste, but you could certainly pick a worse name

BLPL101 · June 2012

I don't think it's dated, but it's not classic either. I kinda like it, but I'm Laura and have always preferred my name over Lauren.

LMBESQ · June 2012

It's my name, and I've always loved it.

CTA7 · June 2012

Our DD is Lauren, so I admit I was a little nervous to open your post when I saw how many replies it got. Our baby name book called it a "new classic," which seemed about right to us. I can think of famous "Laurens" that pre-dated the big trend in the '80s (Lauren Bacall, Lauren Hutton), so it didn't seem so stuck in a particular era to us. I also liked that it is both a well-known name, but one will not be quite so common in DD's generation.

this for me too. But, as to your original question, I don't think it's dated, although I do prefer Laura, but I wouldn't do that bc it's too close to your other DD's name.

I do not think it is dated...I think it is classic & beautiful! But I may be a little biased
