Any thoughts on the name "Laurel" for a girl?

[onthepier]

Really like it, but wonder if it will be confused with Lauren which I don't like as much?

[Fimbo]

I like it. Also Wilow (although that is my friend's dog's name!) and Lara.

[snowleopard]

Beautiful. I don't think it will be confused with Lauren, because they actually sound very different (the R sounds different).

[OurHamsterisevil]

I think its lovely

[katz]

laurel makes me think of laurel and hardy and therefore a man - sorry

[FrannyandZooey]

[ByTheSea]

I like it and went to school with a very nice girl named Laurel.

[mylittlepudding]

I like it, but then I like Lauren and Laura too, and the French translation Laure. Unusual without being weird.

[S1ur]

very topical re Olympics.

I like it, its softer than Lauren and there have been some very smart and talented women called Laurel.

[hiccymapops]

It's lovely

[fishie]

i went to school with a nice girl called laurel too bythesea.

[EffiePerine]

I like it (and Laura)

[AbstractMouse]

I really like it , unusual.

[greenelizabeth]

I really like Laurel. It's so much more beautiful than Lauren. Lauren is ok, but I could never understand why Lauren was chosen over Laurel and not the other way 'round.

I know two sisters in their early forties called Laurel and Briony. Their brother is Rowan!!

Doesn't it mean Bay Leaf?

[MmeLindt]

Lovely.

[Alishanty]

I used to wish my name was Laurel when I was little. Like it.

[S1ur]

Indeed means many lovely things, from latin for bay leaf I think. associated with honour (crown of) and achievement and not something to be rested on

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

Laurel has the same meaning as Daphne bay leaf
