But it's an awesome, amazing, classic, beautiful, perfect, and lovely name. Oh, that's right, my name is Laura... haha. I really do like it, though. It's really classic and sweet, and it hasn't posed a lot of problems for me. My one gripe about having this name is that it is WAY too popular. I know SO many Lauras. Including myself, I can name at LEAST ten that I know. That, to me, is too many. Actually, I have another gripe: it gets mixed up with that darned Lauren all the time. >:[ I don't think it's dated at all, but it *is* ridiculously well used. I like it better than any other variant, with Laurel coming in at a very close second.
