I grew up with a girl named
Laurel and I've always thought it is a lovely name, definitely my favourite of the Laur- names. I also love nature names, and
Laurel is just so evocative. I currently have a professor named
Laurel and she is just all kinds of cool so that really adds to the positive vibe the name has for me. From the three Laurels I have known (the two aforementioned and another acquaintance), nobody seems to confuse it with
Laura or
Lauren.
