Laurelin is actually a tree in Lord of the Rings. (God, I'm a nerd!) I just liked the name.
Okay, actually, my name is Lauren but the first forum I was on there were several Laurens and I didn't want to be confused with other people. I opened up the appendix of Return of the King and there it was. Close enough to my real name, but more unique so as not to confuse people. Maybe next I could be Beauzosmom or something.
