Laurel

[CassandrasCastle]

What do you think? 🤔

(Middle name flow isn't very important to me, it's probably going to be Juliana. Or Ann.)

To me, this is the epitome of a name that is dated rather than vintage chic. Unless you're naming a girl who was born in the 80s/90s, I wouldn't. Sorry.

Laurel and Hardy. Weren't they men?

Agree with pp, very dated but if you like it that's all that matters. It's an OK name and won't raise eyebrows, Laurel Juliana is actually quite pretty.

I really like it. I don't know any, of any age. Really pretty.

It’s lovely. I like Ruth and Alice too

I grew up with one. I like it, pretty and underused, not too cutesy. Her parents used to call her Lolly when she was little.

I don’t like it sorry

It's better than Lauren, which I don't like at all, but it is too closely associated with Hardy.

Laura is lovely.

It's a hedge. Lauren, laura, Lori or laury are nice though.

I love it. A really pretty name. I might have called a child of mine that if it had crossed my mind. Too late now!

i really like it. nothing wrong with the tree or being named after a tree, Rowan, Ash etc

I like it but what about Lorelai

I like it and mixed with your middle name sounds quite classy

I like it. Do you watch How to Get Away with Murder by any chance??

I like it. I’ve never met one or heard of one either. It’s not an 80s or 90s name.

@Poppydaisies yes they were men but Laurel and Hardy were their surnames, although I don't think laurel was his real surname. I think it's nice.

Yes it's dated, but it's a very pretty name.

I love love love the name Laurel

@littlebillie have you read Lorelias secret though? That would put me off using the name because it’s sad.

@memberofseven so’s holly 🤷‍♀️

And Hardy.

Love it.
Beautiful, understated but elegant.

Have you considered "yanny"?

I’m surprised people think it’s dated. It’s never once been even a top 100 name.

I love it. It's really pretty.

I love Laurel and Mallory.
