| I love Laura. I can't think of a little Laura I know. And Laura Bush is widely recognized as a classy lady, so don't see how that's an issue. I personally don't like Melanie but wouldn't think anything bad if I heard someone named their daughter that. |

| My sister is named Laura and I’ve always love it! It seems classic to me. She is in her late 40’s now. |

| I know a baby Laura born last year and when I got the birth announcement I thought what a great choice. Classic w/o being overused; it felt fresh! |

How would you pronounce Laura? LAU-ra? LORE-a?

I just looked it up - Melanie is just below 100 on the list and Laura is in the 300s.
I know a couple little Lauras as well as some Melanies under 20. |

| I love the name Laura, especially if pronounced as in Italian or Spanish, but even if that doesn't work for you, OP, it's still a lovely name. |

Laura is a great name, OP.
I'm not crazy about Melanie, which is a completely different genre and feel from Laura... |

| Love it! I’m a 40-something Lauren and love Laura, Lauren, Lara, Maura, Mauren, and Melanie. I could see Melanie being so sweet on a little girl. |

| I love Melanie! And it’s less popular than Laura. |
