Opinion needed please...

Hello. I am expecting my first child. Don't know if it is a boy or a girl yet but have been thinking of names and need an opinion or 2! My Husband and I both like Lauren for a girl but my name is Laura. So is it a bit weird as our names would be really similar. We also like Jessica but our surname is Jones so again is that a bit silly? (Hi my name is Jessica Jones...) What do you think? All opinions welcome! Thanks.

We have picked Laney if we have a girl which is the shortened version of the french Helene ( apparently according to the baby namer on here!!!) we didn't know this when we picked it ( hubby picked it cos he supports Sheffield United and they play at Brammall Lane....get it???) I don't think Lauren is too much like Laura...and you could always change the spelling 'Loren' for example. Jessica is also very nice and doesn't sound daft with your surname at all. Other girls names that sound nice with jones are Ruby, Tara, Shannon, Lacy, Amy, Phoebe and Amelia amongst others xxx Hope this helps xxx

i think jessica jones just rolls of the tounge. it doesn't sound daft atall. if it where my choice i would go for jessica to have something different from you're own name as they are very similar. plus i prefer jessica anyway,lol.
good luck
