Lauren by the numbers
In 2025, 28 babies in England and Wales were named Lauren. In the US, 1,983 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 21,061 babies in 1989, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1990, about 1 in 100 American girls born that year was called Lauren.
