Which do you prefer, and why? Our last name is [name_u]Walker[/name_u] and her middle name will be [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. Does one sound distinctly better to you with the middle or last name or in general? Also, what type of person do you associate with them? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you associate [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] with being a very “mainstream” type of person? I always loved the name but I don’t want a name with that type of association. What sort of person and family would you associate [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]/ [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] with?
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] has more sparkle and feels fresher. [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] feels a bit dated as I grew up with many. [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] doesn’t click in my opinion. [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] feels watered-down by over-usage while [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is incredibly unique and statement-making. I do associate [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] with being very mainstream and becoming slightly dated as a 90s/80s child name. I’ve known about a dozen [name_m]Laurens[/name_m].
I would go with [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]! It’s much lovelier and the two names seem to fit with each other better. I associate the name [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] with perhaps a wealthy [name_u]North[/name_u] American family- not snobby though, just extremely classy and refined.
Another vote for [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]! [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is just so much more beautiful and unexpected imo. It has a nature connection going for it and it makes me think of victory or Greek mythology because of laurel wreath crowns.
I vote for [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] is a very over used name and I don’t have enough fingers to tally off how many [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]'s I know.
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is very beautiful and wholesome.
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] is a nice name, but I agree that [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] works better as a combo. Also [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_u]Walker[/name_u] feels very safe. … Another vote for [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]!
I would vote [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] if the two. My favorite is the classic [name_f]Laura[/name_f].
Tbh I’m not that keen on either, but I definitely prefer [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. It also works much better with [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], though [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_u]Walker[/name_u] does have a very balanced sound to it.
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f], ten billion times [name_f]Lauren[/name_f].
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f].
I also vote for [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] is a bit dated to me – very late 80’s/early 90/s.
I much prefer [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. I know a lot of [name_m]Laurens[/name_m], as I’m sure most people do, and so [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] just feels so much fresher. I also like the fact that its a tree. [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] sounds much better than [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], imo, however [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Walker[/name_u] doesn’t sound right to my ears at all.
I have met more Laurels than [name_m]Laurens[/name_m] all 35-60
I much prefer [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. Its funny how one letter can make a difference, but i much prefer the sound of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].
Definitely [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], it works so much better with the middle and last names and also doesn’t have the dated feel that [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] has.
I prefer [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]. [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] feels quite trendy to me and doesn’t have the nicest sound.
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is great!
I prefer [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], its very pretty and feels fresher than [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] which feels very 90’s to me!
Definitely [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]! I grew up around hundreds of [name_m]Laurens[/name_m]…
I like them both, but [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] has the edge for me. It just has a lovely sound, that rolls off the tongue, and I like [name_f]Laura[/name_f] too, but [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] seems prettier and more stylish.
Another vote for [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. I much prefer the botanical imagery and softer vibe.
