I think all three are nice, but Maren is my favorite.

It's kinda funny you mentioned Marin, I was looking at a baby name book & marked it as one of my favorites. I also wondered why I haven't seen it around. Needless to say, Marin gets my vote, followed by Lauren & then Ella. Good Luck!!

Thanks! I appreicate your opinion. I agree, you never hear "Marin". I heard it "Something's Gotta Give" a while back and it's stuck with me ever since.

I adore Lauren, but am somewhat biased since that is my parners name. Marin really strikes me for some reason. It feels familiar but I can't put my finger on why. Regardless, I like it a lot and I think it's unique without being unrecognizeable. Ella is nice, but not a favorite of mine. Of the three, I'd probably vote for Marin with Lauren as a close second.

I know it is a popular name right now, but I like Ella best, with Marin second. Why not Ella Marin or maybe even better is Marin Ella???

Ella is getting pretty popular, but I like it, as well as Lauren. I'm not a fan of the sound or look of Maren/Marin.

I've known a few Maran/Maryn/Marin/Marens over the years. I've actually heard it pronounced MAREin (rhyming with Erin & Karen) and muhRIN (ryhming with Corrin). It's much more unusual than Lauren and especially Ella. Ella is very popular and Lauren is a perennial favorite. It seems to me that Ella is more popular than Lauren, but Lauren actually ranks higher.

If you're looking for something unusual, Maren or Marin seems like your best option. They're all pretty names IMO, though.
