Both are lovely. Coincidentally, my high school best friend has one cousin named Laurel and another cousin who named her daughter Fern Elodie.

I think they're both pretty. I like Laurel a lot, and I think Fern would be good as a middle name. It has a similar vibe to Sage and Wren to me.

I really like Fern. Laurel not so much. Fern is sweet.

Laurel is alright, though not a fave. Fern I love though! It’s so sweet, approachable, friendly and homely. It’s a sweet country girl name.

Both names are okay. I have known girls with both names and it definitely takes a certain type of person to successfully carry the names off.

Laura, yes; Laurel, no. Fern, only as a nn for Fernanda, which I would avoid because of a bad associaion with a Fernando.

Fern is okay, not crazy about Laurel

I love Fern, it's so eccentric yet homey. Laurel is beautiful and classy, not really my thing! I like it much more than Lauren.

I like plant names but these don't sound pretty.

Laurel is ok, don't like Fern

Laurel is ok, don't like Fern

I would agree they're just okay. I definitely prefer Laura over Laurel.
