[Opinions] Gorgeous

I like Laura slightly better, but I adore both names. Lara has its own charm, it's so simple and feminine and pretty without being flighty and over-the-top. (I hate when Laura is pronounced LORE-a, ugh.)

I think it would be an awkward middle name. But the only Lara I know is Lara Elizabeth, which is kind of dull. Lara Octavia comes to mind!

How do you pronounce Laura? Because LORE-a is the only pronunciation I've ever heard; same as LAH-ra rather LAIR-a for Lara.

Wow, really? What a shame

I say Laura Lah-ra, or Low-ra in Spanish class, which I still think is nice. I think Lore-a is really ugly and Lahra is exquisite and feminine. Some people down here say it Lore-a and I find it infuriating.

I never say Lara Lair-a, because I think that's really ugly too.
