My name is Laura. I never have hated my name nor have I loved my name. I don't hear it a lot but i'm more into the names that aren't heard at all.

I'm laura too :)

I'm not so sure how to feel about my name. It certainly is classy and all... but there are lots of prettier names I'd rather have.

But I still love my name :D
Not so bad

I'm from New Zealand and it's a fairly common name in my country too. I think it's so old school! when I think of the name Laura I think of sort of names that would be from the same generation like... margret or Amy or Vannessa or.... Ella. I think of my grand mother's generation or even older. These really old fashion names are coming back though. Just think, in the next 20 years we could be hearing names that we thought no one would ever use again!!!
I like my name

I think it rolls nicely of the tongue if said correctly! The down side is that I am from the southern part of the U.S. and some people call me Lara and I hate how that sounds.
Love it

I love my name. Historic and meaningful. I am named after my great aunt who was loved deeply by my Dad. It is common, but an excellent choice. I love my name.

Laura is not Lori!

My name is Laura but I go by my middle name Lee. I hated my name growing up because everyone called my Lori or Lauren. I don't like either one of those names. So because no one would pronounce it correctly I just went by my middle name and still do.
The name Laura

I have always liked my name and I think it fits me well. A leo who's name means honor and dignity. Laura is classic and elegant. My mother said she gave me that name because it sounds like a name for someone who likes wide open spaces - nature, mountains, the ocean etc., So I think that's cool and it fits me. It is a common name but not a popular choice nowadays. The best thing i liked about my name is the songs, characters, and movies that used the name. So that made it even more special.

Yes, a lot of people close to me try to add their own special twist by calling me Laurie or Lauren. I like it pronounced in spanish which is how my mother intended but in english it is nice too. I named my daughter Adonia Loren because I wanted a name that was unique and special and gave her Loren because its derived from Laura and adds panache.
