My sister wanted to name me Baby Jesus or Lauren Ruth.

Nothing wrong with Lauren Ruth. I like it!

It's my BFF's name (she was an infant at the time; our moms were friends). Would have been awkward.

Plus, Lauren was in the Top 10 the year I was born, which probably would have bugged me.

But yeah, it's not bad, otherwise...I think it sounds straightfoward, and "laurel friend" is a sweet meaning.

I've known too many Laurens. My vote goes to Baby Jesus.

ha, I'd probably have voted for Babe Ruth "BB" as a compromise (when I was a kid, if my sister had been discussing potential sibling names with me).

Or maybe Shannon Ivy / Ivy Shannon...I think those were my favorite names around pre-school age...actually, I wouldn't mind being named that.
