Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Laurel?
in reply to a message by Joiya
Love it :) I think it would be so sweet on a little girl.
My adopted Australian grandma is named Laurel so I have a good association!
I find Laura and Lauren way too boring, while Laurel is sweet and refreshing, and Laurelle just seems unnecessarily complicated, over the top, and changes the pronounctiation for me and I don't like it (LAUR-el vs, Laur-ELLLLE)
Technically I think word names are fair game, but laurel just sound so girly and has such a long history of feminine usage I would be hesitant to use it on a boy (and I'm one who's all for boys being named Ashley)
I think Clarisse and Laurel would be super sweet as sisters :)
