HelpRe: Laurel
in reply to a message by foxgloves
The plant is also pretty poisonous. Just FYI. I don't care myself, I mean, I love Holly and that's poisonous and prickly.
I don't feel it rolls off the tongue very smoothly. The l ending feels slurry and mumbly, and the name reminds me of Rory and Aurora and even Coral in that way. Somehow the sounds just don't quite feel good in the mouth.
And yes, I think Laurel is very likely to get confused with Laura; I've been confused a few times myself when hearing Laurel.
Laurel is also the name of a town near here.
