Help[Opinions] Re: Laurel, Lauren or Lorena?
in reply to a message by Guest
Lorena and Laurel tie for me. Not a fan of Lauren.
I love Lorena because it feels like a charmingly old fashioned history and literature nerd name to me - the song "Lorena" was a huge craze during the American Civil War, and it was also the name of one of Scarlett O'Hara's forgotten children in the novel Gone with the Wind. But Laurel always struck me as a beautiful and kind of eerily Mysterious sort of name, in a beautiful dark shade of green. So if I were to use it in real life, I'd be torn. I also had a dream once where I had a daughter named Laurel Sailor. Not really my kind of thing ordinarily, but I'm a huge sucker for the incomprehensible oracle messages of dreams. So that gives the names some powerful charm.
