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

Laura is a gorgeous name.

But yes, I prefer Anna. I love the name Anna.

I have a Laura who's 20months! So I'm biased!

I've only ever met really nice Laura's x

DanaScully Hindi for Penis is ‘Ling’ apparently, so don’t think that’s too close to either of these.
I like the sounds of both, though prefer Orla which sounds a bit like Laura.
Lily looks pretty written down and it sounds nice. It is very popular but with good reason.

Lily. Laura sounds very dull to me. I prefer Lorna, Laurel and Lila / Lyla.

Charlotte or Annie, both gorgeous

Laura

Neither.

Anna is better by miles.

What about Laur ie ? For my money it’s got the sound of Lily but the timelessness/bringing it backnesss of Laura but is also a bit edgier.

Laura

Lily is really popular but I don't like the sound Laura. Don't know why, never liked it as a name.
