[Opinions] Re: Laure
in reply to a message by Alda
I'd go with Marie-Laure - it seems more logical and keeps the pretty Frenchness of Laure. On its own in English, it sounds a bit too much like Law.

A French friend of mine lived in England and married a Scot; they were unable to have children and she said that this might be just as well because she'd always wanted a daughter named Laurence and it just wouldn't work in English and especially with their ln. I suggested Laure to her, and Laura, but neither appealed; especially Laure which she said would be misunderstood at every turn.
