I like Laura more than Laurel. Laura sounds classic, and I adore feminine names that end in A.

Prefer Laurel, Laura is fine

Both nice, but I wouldn’t use either. I’d be more likely to use Laurel though out of the two, it’s just a little more different.

Laurel is very calm and serene, and I used to like it a lot, but now, I think it's a bit boring. I love it paired with Daphne, though. I like Laura with the Italian and Polish pronunciation: LOW-ra (the r is rolled).

I like Laurel, prefer it masculine though (but that's because of the Laurel and Hardy association)

Laura while okay, it's actually quite common where I live. Knew one too many Laura's myself. Every single one of them have been strangely tall girls, brown hair, and shy and/or prefers one's self to the company of others. I noticed that 3 Laura's in and it's still a trend I've noticed so it's a pretty strong image I have tied to it I must say.

More interesting than Lauren, Loren etc, but otherwise rather ephemeral. I far prefer Laura, and still regret not having had the opportunity to use it IRL.

Laura is nice in a girl next door way. It is solid and familiar but a bit dated.

Laurel feels fresher. I have mixed feelings about the repeating L, but I associate the name with sunshine and spring green.

Love Laura, Laurel is ok, I'd prefer Lauren, 2nd to Laura, the Laurel 3rd

Laura is just excellent, although it isn't exciting, it doesn't grab any attention.
Laurel is sort of a more exciting version. I think I like the pretty sound it ends with. I like saying it. Or, I think I do - I don't know how I'd feel if I knew a Laurel and had to say it a whole lot.

Laurel isn't awful but it doesn't roll out of the mouth smoothly and is kinda like the word rural, which I hate for that very reason.
I like Laura a lot, it's at home just about anywhere. But I prefer Lauren, which feels a bit more interesting.
