Re: Laurel
in reply to a message by foxgloves
My favorite female Laur-/ Lor- name is Lorena but Laurel is my second favorite. I don't think Laurel would get confused with Laura and Lauren or at least not often.
Lorna is my 3rd favorite, Lauren is my 4th, Loretta is 5th, Laurie is 6th, and Laura is 7th because it is so common in my age group that it became bland.
Laurel reminds me of the character in the TV show Arrow and it makes me think of the plant.
My only misgivings about Laurel have ever been that it sounds slightly similar to L'oreal and it rhythms with Oral. But I don't think those similarities make the name unusable.
