I prefer it pronounced LAWR-el. I prefer the names Laura and Laure to Laurel, but I prefer Laurel to Lauren.
MN Suggestions:
Laurel Delfina
Laurel Genevieve
Laurel Katrina
Laurel Philippa
Laurel Sapphire
Laurel Sophie
Do these sound decent as sibsets?:
Damian Thor and Laurel ? No
Amelia Cora Lynn and Laurel ? Yes
Marsena Asdis and Laurel ? No
Freyja and Laurel Yes
