I asked below what your mother's name is. Just as a challenge, I thought I might be able to find a variant that you both like as a fn instead of Laurel. Then we could try to find a variant of Kathleen to put with it. Then, world peace breaks out all over. :-) You don't seems that excited about Laurel, that's the only reason I ask.Anyway, back to the task at hand. Mns for Laurel:Laurel Patricia (I get the image of a Roman patrician with a laurel wreath)
Laurel Artemis
Laurel Imogen
Laurel Amelia / Emilia
Laurel Catriona (variant of Kathleen)
Laurel Sophie
Laurel Sylvie / Sylvia (a forest of laurel trees?)
Laurel Celeste
Laurel Sandrine
Laurel Eye (variant of Lorelei?)
Laurel Aisling
Laurel Maeve
Laurel Anais
Laurel Saskia
Laurel Elspeth
Laurel Odette
Laurel Vivien
Laurel Viveca
Laurel Kateri (another variant of Kathleen)
Laurel Maia
Laurel AstraeaHappy hunting!

Yes...but I'm not sure if I'd like to honor my mom.Or either of our moms. ;-) Kateri: I'd feel guilty for mispronouncing it.I really like/love:
Laurel Astraea and Laurel Artemis. Laurel Maia would be neat as well.

I understand completely. One thing, I'm thrilled you like Laurel Artemis. But I feel compelled to point out that the Romans called Artemis Diana. This sort of honors your mother, which you might not want. Plus, it leaves out Kathleen. Shame, because Laurel Artemis does scan well.
