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.

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.

I live in the south and love the pronunciation of Law rah and HATE to be called LORA. I like the name-timeless=Lauras from the 1920's to the 2000's some names seem decade specific-Lisa Tiffany,Brittney but not Laura
