Think you probably need something starting with a consonant to make it "flow". Also probably something not ending in an "a" sound.

As well as those above, how about

Laura Beth (or Bethany)
Laura Madeleine
Laura Maeve
Laura May
Laura Megan
Laura Frances
Laura Phoebe
Laura Sophie
Laura Helen

A middle name is often a nice way to have a "nod" to your family or where you are from - any family or regional names you like?

Thank you, some lovely ideas Smile

Surname ends in a Y if that makes a difference.

Laura Jayne?

I like Laura Anne
I think it needs to be a monosyllabic follow up or a multisyllabic fancy name...

So, Laura Anne or Laura Angeline

Hard sounds sound wrong after the soft end to Laura, and weirdly a repeat vowel sounds okay to me.

I'm odd but I'd go for Laura Louise or Laura Lisette and love the consonant repetition, but that's just me in my oddness maybe...
