[Opinions] Re: Ava vs. Lauren
in reply to a message by Billina
I remember a time when I liked Ava, but lately it's seemed kind of lacklustre and empty to me, despite knowing a spunky 8 year old Ava.
So, Lauren. It's my best friend's name, I was almost named Loren after a relative, my mom's official name is Loretta, I have an aunt Laurie, mountain laurel's one of my favorite flowers, and I've been liking Laurence as a guys' name recently. If I don't hate it because of overuse yet, then I doubt I ever will, so it's a safe choice.
Also, I guess Ava sounds like it's meant to be more jaunty while Lauren is more sedate, and right now I prefer sedate.
