I've encountered Laura and Lauren but never a Laurel. Of the three, Laura is my favorite but Laurel is a close second, far nicer than Lauren, in my opinion. Not only does Laurel bring lovely green leafy imagery to mind but, from traditional use of laurel wreaths, I also associate "excellence" with Laurel; in fact, I tend to think of it as sort of an honorary virtue name.

Of your combinations, I best like Laurel Vivienne for sound, flow and feel, and I enjoy like the "excellence alive" association I get from it. I also like Laurel Caris and Laurel Cosette. For me, Finley is masculine and the others are a bit too "l" heavy, though I do like the feel of Elise with Laurel.
