HelpRe: WDYT of Laura?
in reply to a message by Emma Katherine
So...this is my name! As a kid, I didn't really like my name. I thought it sounded old and too girly (since I was a tomboy) and there weren't really any cool nicknames for it (though my sister calls me "Laur" all the time). But, as I got older, I learned to like it. And it made me love the Little House on the Prairie books because Laura was the main character. I also liked that it wasn't a super common name growing up too. And I like the meaning of "Victory" from laurel leaves.
I do get called Lauren A LOT, like at least once a week. And I am also called Nora and Laurel frequently. I also get the nickname Laurasaurus, which I love. And some kids call me Laura the Explorer, or just Dora (I work with kids), which I find sweet/funny.
It's funny you wrote the combo Emily Laura cause my sister's name is Emily. I heard "Emily and Laura" all the time as a kid, so it feels weird to have the names together, but the combination sound nice.
My name is Laura Kimberly and I really do love the flow of those two names together (apparently Kimberly was my Dad's middle name and it got passed down to me).
I like Laura Katherine and Emma Laura on your list, but what if you did:
Laura Kathleen
Laura Emmeline
Laura Emilia or Emilia Laura or Amelia Laura or Laura Amelia
Laura Evelyn
(I guess I'm just going for more alliteration by finding similar names to your choices that have L sounds.
I also really like Emily Laurel together. Just sounds nice to me with the extra L at the end. Laurel Evelyn sounds nice to me too. But maybe not everyone get as excited as I do about alliteration, lol.
I LOVE the name Laurel. I think it's pretty but less feminine than Laura, and I love the nature connection too. For a while, I wished my parents had picked this name instead. Apparently, Laura was the only name my parents could agree on, lol.
Anyway, I like my name. Solid, classic and feminine. It's done me well so far. Hope it helps to hear from a Laura! :-)
