Both names are pretty equal in popularity, so that doesn't factor into my decision at all. I LOVE the name Lauren. Absolutely love it. I think it's beautiful. Ava is just okay to me. I actually MUCH prefer Eva (with either the EE-vuh or A-vuh pronounciation).

I agree with Annie that Ava is just ok for me. I do love Lauren, and it really isn't that popular around my area for babies. There are a lot of Lauren's that are my age. I just like the name a lot better then Ava.

Both are really nice names, so you can't go wrong there. Ava does seem to be rather popular on paper (I've yet to meet one in person, other than a friend of my mother's -- she's in her 50s I believe). Where I live, however, Lauren is extremely popular, and has been for years. I grew up with what seemed like dozens (although it was probably just a bit less than that LOL), not to mention having an older cousin Laura, another cousin Loren, and a cousin Lauren (she's 15 now). My 5-year-old also knows two Laurens her age from church, and I believe there are one or two others in the church nursery as well. Throw in all the very-similar names, such as Laura, Loren, Lara and Lori, and it seems just as popular as Ava, at least in my area.

That said, I think both are equally nice, but if I were choosing for myself I'd probably go with Ava -- simply because despite it's apparent popularity, it still seems much more unique given how many Laurens (and it's variants) I know.

So go with whichever one YOU like best! ;)
