How do you pronounce Lauren? We're considering that one too but with family scattered all over the country, we didn't want her to be "Loren" to the Easterners and "Lawren" to the Westerners. We live in the mid-West where its either but mostly "Loren". I prefer the Western pronunciation.

I've always loved this name but didn't realize the problem till we tried to use it with a previous girl 8 yrs ago. Then we moved here and it's gotten more confusing. Don't know why I'm so sensitive to this. Does it bug you?

Good Luck

I know what you mean, that is a problem with the name. I prefer "Lawren" too, but I know some people pronounce it differently. Not sure what to do, that's why I'm undecided about the name. Oh well.

Good luck to you!

Definately not Amanda -- too 80's. The other 2 are really nice choices. I voted Danielle, but like Lauren a lot too. Danielle isn't as popular where I live as Lauren is.

Good Luck,

Brooke

Hi! I have a question for you! I have a Rachel and a Sarah too. I'm just wondering what kind of feedback you get on the 2 names together.

By the way, my Sarah was almost a Lauren. We have similar tastes! I decided against Lauren because of the pronunication differences. I say "Lawren" and my husband and his family say "Loren".

HI -

We are in a similiar situation.

We have 2 girls - Alexandra Marie & Samantha Rose.

We are expecting our third girl around September 18th.

It's very hard to find the right fit .

My younger daughter wanted Phoebe, but I think it's too risky with

our last name being Phillips (initals pp)

The ones so far are

Isabella Nicole

Ashleigh Elizabeth

I like Amanda for your third girl name, but all 3 are pretty.

Best wishes and good luck

Donna

I voted for Lauren. I'm from Southern New Jersey (born and raised here my whole life so no other dialect influences). Don't get any more East coast than that. I pronounce it Lawren, not Loren. In fact everyone I know from this area says Lawren.

HTH!
