My mum didn't like me being called 'Lauri' [Loh-ree] or 'Lozza' so it didn't give me much chance for a nickname!

At the moment it doesnt feel cutesy enough for a baby so we nicknamed her Lolly.

"My name's Lauryn, spelled with a "y" instead of an "e". I like the name except I have to tell people how to spell it-but I like that it's a unique spelling because there are 2 other Laurens in my grade. I also don't like when people pronounce it "Lahhren"--it should be pronounced "Law-ren". Never really had a nickname except occasionally "Laur" and my brother called me "La La" when he was little.

"My name is Lauren. Until I arrived at college a year ago, I thought my name was fairly uncommon and was shocked whenever it was used on tv or in books. There were no other Laurens in my class from 1st-12th grade. When I arrived at college, there were a lot more, however. I like the name Lauren. It's classy, simple, elegant, pretty, yet more trendy than Laura or Laurie. It's true there aren't many nicknames (my siblings call me Laur or Lulu), but I think that's nice. There are so many people with lovely names that are never used because they're too easy to abbreviate (Jessica, Alexandra, Katherine, Samuel, Joshua, Joseph, Alexander, Thomas, Michael, Matthew, Rebecca, etc). I've always wondered if any women were called Lauren before Lauren Bacall used it as a stage name. It appears not. She was given the name "Lauren" by a director. Does anyone know why he chose it or how he came to the decision to give her a traditionally male name?" Dec. 30, 2008:

"My name is Lauren! Of course. :) I simply love my name, though it get pronounced wrong sometimes, I like it to be pronounced Law-ren though and some people call me Loren instead, either way is okay. I know alot of Laurens, but I've been trying to find a nickname for it. My friends call me Ren, Lo, Laurie, LaLa, Lore I love my name forever! :))" Dec. 29, 2008:

"I like my name. People around my age spell it qrong a lot. Usually Loren or Lorin. [[it's lauren]] Lor-in is how I pronounce it, and I realy don't like it when people pronounce it Lahh-ren. I haven't met many other people with the same name, and their is only one other girl in my school with my name." Dec. 24, 2008:

"I've always liked my name. I was named after my father, who spelled his name Loren, mine is Lauren. It was very unique growing up by now everytime I hear my name and turn around, they are talking to someone else...usually 30+ years younger! It's not the unique name it once was. And I hate it when someone pronounces it Lor-een!" Dec. 15, 2008:

"I love my name lauren. It's plain but yet not many people have it. I was named after Lauren Bacall. The only problem i have is that i dont have many nicknames my friend made up a cool one though Loreo because i love oreo's haha." Dec. 1, 2008:

"I love my name. I was always goin to be a lauren and i wouldnt change it at all. I have met soooooooo many laurens who have become great friends wid me. I remember one year in class there were 3 other laurens. iv only ever seen it spelt two ways, that being mine lauren, or lorryn, which is pronounced the same way... its funny coz all true laurens reflect beauty and dazzling personalities. The only ones that dont disgrace teh name wid all the mean things they do. which i hav only met one of, so hey im not complaining. anyways it is the best name and i love the way it rolls off ur tongue, nicknames include loz, lozbanga, lozdog, lozza and lau spoken like lor. xox" Nov. 9, 2008:

It's fairly popular...I've known quite a few Laurens'. My middle name is Rachel which I always liked better but now I'm glad I'm called Lauren! The only problem is finding a good nick name...I get called Loz, and when I was little I was called Lolly Legs by my Mum (she's crazy). I'm Australian and I pronounce my name like Loren. I don't like it pronunced Law-ren :P" Aug. 22, 2008:

"My name is Lauren, and I pronounce it Law-ren as well. I used to hate my name until 7th or 8th grade when I found other girls with the same name and it wasn't so rare anymore. Yeah, people have called me Laura, not Laurie so much. It goes well with my middle name, which is Ashley, a name I like and always have liked, more than my first name. Regardless, I do like Lauren more than I used to." Jun. 7, 2008:

"My name is Lauren and I really like my name now. I pronounce it Lor-en. I actually love being called LAUR (though it's pronounced LOR) by my buds but HATE being called LAURA OR LAURIE. My mom named me after the actress Lauren Bacall. It really is a great and fun name and I would be very envious of girls named Lauren if it wasn't my name." May. 26, 2008:

"My daughter's name is Lauryn and I think it's a beautiful name. I named her that name because I thought (and still do) think it is a very elegant, sophisticated name. I remember thinking how beautiful Lauren Bacall was and just before my daughter was born JFK jr, his wife Caroline and her sister Lauren died in a plane crash. I remember feeling so sorry for the mother of the two sisters who died. How awful to lose both your daughters and I just couldn't get that name out of my head. My husband changed the spelling to Lauryn (after Lauryn Hill). I hate how Lauryn's friends are calling her laurie. I hate that name. I'm looking for something more original. I like Lolly but my lauryn hates it." May. 8, 2008:

"Lauren is a very pretty name and was different when I was young, but didn't know better and went by Laurie until my mid-20's. Now I'm in my 40's and people call me Curly G. I do find Lauren difficult to pronounce; it's very nasal." Apr. 24, 2008:

It says people with the name lauren are sweet, stick up for their friends, know how to manage money, are gentle and kind, have lots of friends, and excell in anything they do. I hate how I don't have a nickname like all my friends. My one bff sometimes calls me "lar-lar" its kinda wierd. And my brothers always call me loren instead of lauren and its soooo annoying. But, I love my name." Mar. 18, 2008:

It's elegant, short, and sweet. It's appropriate for a girl and a woman. As far as nicknames, true there aren't many derivatives, but the one you get is unique to you, unlike everyone named jessica is called jess or jessie." Feb. 12, 2008:

"Lauren is a beautiful name and is particularly nice for an adult woman. We use many nicknames - Lor, LorLor, Laurie or Laura or even Hey You. :) We have some friends who pronounce their daughter's name LaRin. Enjoy this name. It's wonderful." Jan. 26, 2008:

I just don't like when people pronounce it LO-RIN.. it doesn't have an "O"!! lol my parents have always pronounced it LAW-REN." Oct. 26, 2007:

"I love my name! LAUREN!! They spell it loren or laren!! I love that named Lauren!" Sep. 9, 2007:

"My name is Lauren and I think it is such a beautiful name! I love the sound of it and it is an excellent name to name your baby, although there are some disadvantages because I know three other Laurens that live near by me and people sometimes think my name is (Law r en).I think (Lor in is much prettier." Sep. 5, 2007:

"i used to dislike my name- feeling as though it was dull and unoriginal. several of the girls at my schools shared my name with me. and funny enough, all the lauren's i've known have been very beautiful (haha). Over the years, i have come to love my name- and its beautiful sound. i often find people meet me and think my name is "maureen" or "laureen" which is a little irritating at times- though at the end of the day i am proud to have such a lovely name with a rich and powerful history/origin." Sep. 3, 2007:

"My name is Lauren and this name is beautiful, yet a little original. i have have MANY other Lauren in my classes. i will make sure to name my daughter something REALLY unique! Yea!" Aug. 31, 2007:

"I'm just another Lauren. I've never really appreciated my name until now. Surprisingly, this isn't a common name where I live (I'm from Sydney, Australia) and I've never been in the same class as another Lauren. I've only met about seven other Lauren's in my lifetime. I used to feel that my name was boring, but now I like how the name sounds and the almost androgenous feel of the name. It's not overly girly or feminine, but it's not exactly a masculine name either. It's a nice, perfectly balanced name that is basically taunt-proof. Because the name has associations with Lauren Bacall and brands such as Ralph Lauren, the name has a touch of class too. To me the name is a comtemporary classic." Aug. 22, 2007:

"my freinds always used to spell my name wrong but don't now and people that don't know my name mostly when I tell my name to them they think it's laura not lauren I have only ever met one other person that has the same name as me you say my name l-o-r-en" Jul. 30, 2007:

"I'm a Lauren too, and I love it. What bugs me most is when people spell my name wrong. It's pretty common. This one guy was like "Is that spelled L-o-r-i-n? Because that's how my daughter's name is spelled." I have tons of nicknames. My grandma calls me Laura, my dad calls me Learn, and my friends call me Laur (or Laur-Laur Boo-Boo) and Lolo. And funny enough, I only know one Loren, and he went to my preschool." Jun. 13, 2007:

"MY NAME IS LAUREN!...I love it..i was named lauren after a famous actress luckily i am an actress so their you go" May. 9, 2007:

"My name's Lauren Ann (I'm 22), it was very common growing up - generally 2-4 in my class and I was always disappointed that I didn't have a nickname. In high-school I was nicknamed La-La or Lou-Lou. However, in the workforce I've had so many people compliment my name. It's sophisticated, mature, and trendy." May. 6, 2007:

"I named my sister Lauren. So I think it is the best name ever. Also my best friends name is Lauren, but we call her Schultzy because she does't like Lauren and Schultz is her last name." Apr. 11, 2007:

"yup yup ima Lauren too. i love the name and always have. its an uncommon name and every1 remembers me because they dont know to many laurens:)" Feb. 20, 2007:

"Its my name...I love it. Its pretty, feminine, common yet not overused. And most of all, people don't have a hard time pronouncing it. The only thing is, there isn't very many nicknames that come directly from the name. But on the other hand, each Lauren probably has a unique nickname since its not as easy to take one from the name. The nicknames I've had have either had nothing to do with my name, "L", "L"-with something attached after, or most recently "Lo"....but my whole life if they didn't call me Lauren, they called me something entirely different. Anyway, I LOVE my name!" Jan. 14, 2007:

"I love my name come on its after a really good designer Ralp Lauren !!!" Jan. 7, 2007:

"I LOVE THIS NAME! When I was younger though, i didn't like it and wanted to change it to something else like "rose" or something. Its hard to find nick-names because of the "au" part.I like it because no one else really has it so when people hear it sound more special." Jan. 4, 2006:

18 Negative Comments

"My name is Lauren but I've never liked my name. It's really common and the nicknames I've gotten (lozza, lol, lollipop) are pretty awful." Nov. 21, 2016:

"I feel like "Lauren" is the new "Mike". It's so overused by people thinking they're naming their kids something original. There is at least one other Lauren in each of my classes (3 in my dance class alone) and it's hard to nickname (sure, "lolo" or "ren" can work but they're weird to say out loud) so I constantly have to hear people shouting my name. It's a beautiful name, just overused. (Also: what's with all the Lauren Michelles? My middle name is also Michelle and I don't know if this is just a really weird coincidence.)" Feb. 28, 2016:

"My name is Lauren and I absolutely HATE it. It is way to common and there is 6 Lauren's in my grade alone. My middle name is Rae and I like the way Lauren Rae sounds, but I would not choose it for myself." May. 19, 2011:

"My Namess Lauren.

Well, i guess i'll just have to put up with it. its gunna be with me for the rest of my life Newhayyss. :)" Jun. 18, 2010:

"it's my name, and i'm in middle school. so you can only image how common it is. not very good nicknames which is a bummer, also. :/ i don't really like it all to much, because it's so common it's lost all the "class". all in all, i couldn't imagine having any other name though. i would change it in a heartbeat, just saying."

"I like Lauren but yeah, they are not many nicknames that come with the name "Lauren", somtimes my teacher calls me "Laur" instead but that is about all the nicknames I have :( Lauren is an okay name but it is definitely common and can be annoying if several people have the same name as you and you always look up to find out they were talking about or to a diffrent Lauren."

"Nickname: most obvious one in Australia is Loz or Lozza. however i hate it!" Apr. 3, 2009:

"To address the "snobby" issue: look up the Freakonomics analysis of naming trends. Lauren was one of the most popular names used in the late 80s/early 90s by the most educated, wealthiest segment of society. Whether or not I like my name: Because of the prevelence of the name, I've often been asked if, given the choice, I would have named myself other than Lauren. My answer is always "No, I love my name, but I wouldn't allow anyone else to use it." Am I happy to be named Lauren? Yes, very much so. Would I name a child Lauren today? Depends. It is ridiculously overused in the agegroup that's in college now, but I think its declining prevelence among newborns means that its use is finally leveling out. I will say that I expect the name "Lauren" to be like the name "Susan" of our parents' generation (a name that is strongly associated with a particular agegroup rather than a name like Margaret that is common in both)." Mar. 31, 2009:

"i think the name fits me well....there are two other laurens in my clas and teachers get us mixed up but I think it's overall uniquelly me and no other name could quite capture my essence like LAUREN does" Feb. 5, 2009:

"My name's Lauren, and I have my reservations about my name. One thing I do like about my name is that it kind of sounds cool with my last name, Rivers. I always wished my name was Elaine, but I'm kind of glad my name isn't THAT common. :)" Jul. 26, 2008:

"My name is Lauren too. I like the name but I wish I had a nickname because all my friends get nicknames, like BingBong. People spell it wrong but say it right, i think. I think it's supposed to be said Loren, but spelled Lauren. I know 17 other Laurens!" Jul. 20, 2008:

"well my name is lauren elizabeth and i dont really like lauren. all of my friends call me that and i want a nickname. it used to be lolo when i lived in hawaii, but then we found out that meant crazy or stupid in hawaiin. i like "L" spelled elle because it sounds pretty but i dont think anyone will call me that" Jul. 8, 2008:

"My names Lauren but im called 'Lozzy' by everyone. Loz, Loz-Boz, Lozza. All that really, but mainly lozzy. The name Lauren Itself, isnt a bad name, although, it is a bit blah. i would of prefered a name with meaning, i mean a 'laurel plant' isnt exactly much to live up to!" Jul. 5, 2008:

"hey all! my name is lauren, im from new zealand. i really like my name, i think it helps ive met very few people with the same name. the nicknames i've adopted over the years are loz, lozza, lo and laurie - my grandfathers name was lawrence and everyone called him laurie so i like that. my mum calls me bridget! everyone who doesnt know thinks thats weird but thats what she wanted to call me, so thats what she calls me, and i love it! all in all i think its a beautiful name we all have :)" Jun. 9, 2008:

"my name is Lauren never really liked it before only because everyone had it..but now all my mates call me loz which i think is awesome!" Jun. 9, 2008:

"My mother named me Lauren for the plain and simple reason that it can't be shortened into anything stupid. I personally can't stand the nicknames some people come up with. Lozz? I mean really. It makes me angry when people call me Laurie or Laura. Sometimes I tolerate Laur [ or in the case of very personal friends Laur-Laur], but I prefer to be called by my real name. Lauren. I think It's a lovely name, and I'm proud to hold it. My father called me Ren for a while untill I got so angry with him I refused to answer. My best friends name is Lauryn, and we frequently get into fights about who's name is better. In short, if your name is Lauren, be proud of it." Jun. 7, 2008:

"hi my name is lauren bruce my parents called me lauren and i don't really like it but if i wasn't called lauren i wouldn't have the name lolly my daddy named me after some actresss called lauren?? i can't think btu yeah i spose it is a good name" May. 20, 2008:

"ello, my name is lauren, and people pronounce it LORen. and i hate it, for a while people called me ren..and everyone calls me laura when they dont get it right. i want something not so original, lately everone calls me elle, but still, its not ineresting enough" May. 18, 2008:

"My name is Lauren, I pronounce it Loren, but I go by Loe. I love my name, (:" May. 14, 2008:

"My name is also Lauren. I used to hate my name with a passion, not I'm not going to lie. Over the past couple years though, I've grown to love it. I also love being called LAUR by my closest friends, but I absolutely HATE it, when someone calls me LAURA. I think it is definately a name someone will grow into. I could not have chosen a better name for myself, I adore it now." Apr. 27, 2008:

"I'm another Lauren and I absolutely HATE HATE HATE it when people name their child Loren or Lauryn. I've only ever met three other Laurens in my life but I know it's a very common name. I would very much rather it not be so common. I was going to be named Solay after the french word for sun (Soliel). and I always resented the nurses in the hospital for telling my mother I would be teased with that name. however I do like it when I get to tell people what my name is. I makes me feel powerful because I pronounce it with presents and it sounds like it belongs to someone beautiful. Look out for a famous supermodel named Lauren coming up in a few years. it'll be me." Apr. 25, 2008:

"Heyy my name is lauren I kinda like the name because none f my freinds have that name. Some nicknames i have are Lau, Lau Lau, Lu Lu, or Lo. I perfer lauren though. Lauren is a really commen name so its pretty boring. Im irish and i wuld much rather have a an irish name lk Bridgit or Siobhan or McCarten." Apr. 22, 2008:

"My names Lauren (no surprise) lol. And to be honest i dont like it. Its nothing special and i agree there are no nickname. Lozza, is boring to me.I was gonna be caled Lucy which i prefer! Lauren is just bland." Apr. 14, 2008:

"Hey, my name is Lauren. I am from Australia, but no one here pronounces it correctly despite my very best efforts. It should be pronounced Loren. I get various nick names though Lozz being the most common. But lolli, lozzie, laurie. I dont mind it, but i would prefer if it was spelt correctly, so either loren or lauryn..not lauren." Apr. 14, 2008:

"my name is lauren and i think its OK. it sounds too preppy. i like the way it sounds Australian. lol. i like it pronounced LAW-ren but i live in America so i dont get it pronounced how i want. lol i like that nic name Lozza. its cute. but my friends call me Laur and i HATE IT!" Apr. 13, 2008:

"heyy, im Lauren, and im okay with it, i just wish people said it right =] everybody calls me LO or lulu. but take my advice- DO NOT USE LAUR, or anything else like that! its stupid, and it sounds kinda... masculine or something. idk." Apr. 11, 2008:

"i dont love the name but i dont hate it. I do hate common names and there are a million Lauren especially in my age group. Im from Brooklyn so my nickname is Lau or Laur pronounced with a brooklyn slang. The one think i really dont like about my name is that my intire family is italian and it is very hard for my family to pronounce it correctly. but oh well" Mar. 21, 2008:

"My name is Lauren. I like it but i want a nickname. I think i'll try laura. a lot of people call me bubbles or sassy tho. I don't know where bubbles came from, but if u met me, you would know where the sassy part came from!" Mar. 13, 2008:

"my name is Lauren and i think it is SOO boring and normal. at my school there are about 10 or 15 girls with the first name Lauren just in my grade!! I would much rather have another name, and for some reason I've always liked guys names for girls like "charlie" or "danny" even though in many cases those are just short versions of a name. Oh well, a lot of people call me LoLo so i guess it's all good if that's what i'm called a lot =]]" Mar. 12, 2008:

"My first daughter/first child is named Lauren. Her name is beautiful to us. I do not know why people get mad when it is hard to come up with a nic name from this name Lauren. Really nic names come about from something in your life. Our daughter's nic name is Lulu, it is unique to her. She got this nic name for the grinch who stoll christmas because she looked like little Cindy lou who because her little pig tails stood straight up off her head. As far as people saying her Name right, I really have never had a promblem. Lauren is a beautiful name and it is not that over used like you see with now Sophia, or Isabella." Mar. 5, 2008:

"my name is Lauren, and for some reason, it just struck me as strange. like it just hit me that that is my name. weird. XD" Feb. 23, 2008:

"my names lauren and i hate how i dont get any nicknames because of it! everyone just calls me by my last name" Jan. 27, 2008:

"Come on guys, the correct way to Lauren really depends on where you're from. I'm Aussie and we say it COMPLETELY differently to the Americans. I lived in America for a year where everyone said LAW-ren. That isn't how we pronouce it and I don't really like LAW-ren. Aussie's shorten everything. A lot of my friends always call me Lozza (Loss-za)instead of Lauren. (That's a really common nickname for Lauren over here.) With an American accent it unfortunately sounds a bit like Loser though..." Jan. 11, 2008:

"My names Lauren and I hate the way people say it like Lor-in it's really annoying sometimes. The way my name is pronounced is Law-ren. :]" Jan. 5, 2008:

"yes, my name is lauren (pronounced lor-en) but i have a friend who spells it the same way but says lar-en b/c she's from the south. lol. i like it, but i don't love it because there aren't any nicknames that can come from it! that's kind of frustrating, b/c im a nickname kind of girl.. have them for all my friends, and i'm all left out :(" Jan. 3, 2008:

"my name is Lauren & honestly, i hate it! How many nicknames can you pull out of the name Lauren (That arent stupid) ? I've acually gotten a lot of people to call me by my lastname instead of first." Dec. 27, 2007:

"My name is Lauren. And, I answer to both "Loren" and "Lauren" because everyone says it differently. BUT, "Lauren" with an "a" is the correct way to say my name. No offense to Loren's but my name is Lauren." Dec. 13, 2007:

"i think its an ugly name but i can't change it ):" Dec. 10, 2007:

"I really don't like my name that much i mean it's ok but i think its kind of boring" Dec. 7, 2007:

"the way you say this name is LAW-REN. It's my Name & no offense, but all of you "Loren" girls out there sound ridiculous as it is the incorrect spelling or the male version of the name. It's a very pretty name if you say it correctly. <3 Lauren." Dec. 4, 2007:

"My names lauren too, i quite like it, tho i'm not a fan of it's origins- one girl mentioned lauren bacall- it's not actually her real name, it was created in the 40's by her agents, a mix of laura and karen, that's why no one was called lauren before the 40's. it makes the name more like a brand, which i don't really like. xx" Jun. 22, 2007:
