Re: Lauren
News flash: people in different countries make different noises when confronted by identically spelt words. This does not mean that they are 'right' or 'wrong' to do so. If you pronounced, say, Stephen as step hen, now THAT would be a mistake.But where I live, Lauren sounds like Loren and Laura sounds like Law-ra. So, shoot me.Would Alexandria still be a good mn for Lauren if the surname was Alexander?
