HelpLaurel & Jasmine ...
What are your opinions and/or impressions of Laurel / Laurell & Jasmine?
For some reason I've been liking these lately, most likely a shortlived fascination, but who knows.

I think Laurel is timely, classic and feminine. Jasmine....I just can't get over the cartoon character from Aladdin. :-) I much prefer Jessamyn/Jessamine to Jasmine. I think they have a timeless feel to them while Jasmine seems more trendy to me.

I really find Laurel awkward sounding. I think it's because of the l ending. I'd much prefer Laura. And, I think Jasmine is very pretty.

I absolutely love Laurel! Right now it's in my top 5. It fluctuates a lot. And goes head to head with Laura as my favorite Laur- name.
I don't much care for Jasmine but it has grown on me some. Before I used to hate it and now I still don't like it but I can see the appeal.

Well my sister is named Laurie (pronounced LAWR-ee) so that wouldn't work. And how in the world is Jasmine a harlot? It's a children's cartoon.

I'm just disturbed by the clothes she's wearing. I mean, really. This is a children's movie, and she's wearing BASICALLY a bra and really low pouffy pants. She's also insanely thin. This is not a good role model. This is possibly a worse role model than Barbie. Barbie at least can wear non-revealing dental hygenist uniforms. Plus now she's not so stacked. Jasmine always looks like she does. This (bad role models in children's entertainment) is the only issue I feel conservative/censorship-ish about, but yeah, maybe I was being a tiny bit more dramatic than I needed to be with the word harlot.
BTW, is there another way to pron. Laurie besides LAWR-ee? I've always said it like that; since I read Little Women when I was eight. It's my (male) teddy bear's name.

Most people pronounce Laurie as LOR-ee. My sister was more or less namded for Little Women. My mother wanted to name her daughters Amy, Meg & Beth but her cousin ended up doing something like that.
Most people mispronounce my sister's name, including my 5-year old nephew.

Jasmine is the only spelling I like. All the others don't look right to me. They either look mispelled or incomplete imo.
