Help[Opinions] Re: Laureen (Nope, not a typo!)
in reply to a message by Miss Julia Keelan
I think it's really pretty, and yes, I've heard Laureen before. I love -een names (Laureen, Doreen, Maureen, Noreen, etc.) in general; I think they're really nice.

I like Noreen! I'd forgotten about that one!
I don't like Doreen, just don't like the Dor- part, and my mother has a "thing" against Maureen. When i was born, she told the nurse I'd be a Julia, and the nurse (who was apparently kind of snitty) said "She doesn't look like a Julia. She looks like a Maureen."
Probably not the best thing to say to a hormonal lady! Anyways, since then, my mom has hated that name! When I saw RENT I started likeing it, but I could never really use it.
But you're right, the -een names have a nice sound. I love the name Irene.
Maybe it's becuase I don't like the name Lauren, and the relatively newness of the name (to me). Oh well! Maybe it can grow on me!
