Alternatives to Laura?

[BabyDubsEverywhere]

Laura is my Dsis name and I am thinking of using an alternative of this for potential DD2 name, really jumping the gun, but thought id get a head start. Any ideas? x

Lauren
Laurie
Lola
Lara

Elora

Laria

Lorna

Paula ( sounds simililar )

are you looking for rhyming or same start letter or ?

Lorna

Lauren

Really like Elora, Lauren is my DN name hmm, not sure it will go with surname though. I had a hundred names before i though i might be pregnant!

Not anything in particular, Laura just doesnt go well but would like to use something of my sister iyswim, her middle name is Jo so thats pants too

Lorna is very nice, now on my list

What about pronouncing it the Spanish or Italian way, Lawra becomes lowra [as in ow I've hurt myself]

ooo i really like that idea, and it does go better with surname. Thankyou.

Lauralie
Laurel
Lori

Lara

Laurel

Lorna (is my sisters name lol!)

Lawreen

Lorena

Lara is fabulous.

Loretta, Layla, Leila, Lana

I like Laurel - Chloe Sevigny plays a character with this name in Woody Allen film Melinda and Melinda

I liked Laura and chose Lorna for dd1 for variation.

Daphne and Kayla/Kaila are other 'laurel' names.
Rowan, Willow other shrub/tree names.

I like Lara

What about Leah ?

Lowri is Welsh (pronounced with the ow! I hurt my knee sound!!)

Flora.

Elodie
Laurie
Lavender
Laetita
Tara
Layla
Loreli

Second Flora.

Lowri is indeed Welsh for Laura (is my name) but the 'Low' part is prounounced like the word 'Low' as in opposite to high so it's Low-ree.

I am called Lowry constantly and it's incredibly frustrating, even when I pronounce it clearly. Most people who have the name pronounce it Lowri (from a facebook group I saw), the Lowry pronunciation is rarer and not the traditional Welsh one. People always think I'm named after the painter Lowry (I'm really not!) and it's constantly spelt wrong - Lori, Laurie, Lowry, Lowrie, Lowree etc

But I do love it despite the annoyances :D

I'd thought Lowri was pronounced the same as the organ.
I like it with Minty's pronounciation.

Lorelei
Lana
Lyla

I love Lorna and Lara

(I'm a Laura and I love my name!)

Lara and Laurel

Here it would be pronounced Lowra, which I like.
