Laura

Is the name Laura currently popular? We absolutely want to avoid any currently popular name.

Melanie is another favorite.

Thanks!

I love both names, OP, and don’t know any girls named Laura or Melanie under the age of 20.

Love it! I’m using it for a middle name. I know a Lauren but not a Laura.

Btw to check name popularity look on the social security website for baby names. It shows a names popularity. I think Laura is very classic

Laura is a better name than Melanie. Not popular.

Not popular.

If you want to combine, you could do Maura, which is never popular and is lovely.

I like both Maura and Maureen and have always loved the nickname "Mo" on a certain type of girl/woman with these names.

I also like Laura. Not a huge fan of Melanie but do like the nn Mel. I just prefer it for Melinda.

Laura is one of those names, like Elizabeth or Catherine, that doesn’t feel like it belongs to any particular era.

Laura is beautiful.

My sister’s name! She is 60 - don’t think it was popular when she was a child. Beautiful and classic if you ask me.

These are both gorgeous names. I hope you have two girls so you can use them both.

Both are beautiful names and I don’t know any little Laura’s or little Melanie’s.

No Melanie’s is curious as all the other GWTW names have exploded. Scarlett and Rhett Republicans hugely popular. Ashley is burned out but was so popular for so long.
