Based on sound alone, which do you prefer? Thank you!

My Dsis is a Laura and she is lovely. I vote Laura!

Laura, but I agree with a pp. I’ve never met a nice one!

Chickenwing What a lovely thing to say about a baby name/other women. Hmm

OP which do you prefer and why?

Dislike both. Lily is too popular and Laura's are always bitches.

I prefer the sound of Lily, but it is very popular so I'd go for Laura.

NannyR · 20/12/2020 18:38

Definitely Laura.

I much prefer Laura.

I really like Laura, and agree it’s due a comeback!

JamesCracknelsBugle · 20/12/2020 18:26

Laura. It is due a resurgence. Lily is a very popular name now (I know a lot of children called Lily). Laura feels fresh.
