All about Laura.

Though still relatively popular, the name "Laura" reached its 20th-century low point, at #119, in 1944.  The release of popular movie, starring Gene Tierney in the title role, and the equally popular theme song, gave the name a decided boost in popularity.  Laura was among the top 30 most popular girl's baby names from 1958 through 1990.
