Little Known Fact
Lauren’s parents stole her name from the doctor who delivered her. She was born a month early, and they had not yet selected a name. The doctor’s wife had delivered a baby girl the month before and they named her “Lauren Michelle.” Her parents liked it so much they said “we’ll take it!” Ever since, Lauren has been on the lookout for the original Lauren Michelle.
