What do you think of Laure (prn. LOR)? I think it's pretty, though I'm not sure I like it as much as Laurel and Laura. Any sibsets and/or combos come to mind? Could it work as a first name?

Also, which Laur- name is your favorite (Laure, Laurel, Laura, Lauren, etc; also Loretta, Loraine, etc)? Mine is Laurel.

I think Laure is nice, but to me it just seems too nicknamey. I know it's a French name, but it's not one I'd use. My favorite Laur- name is Laura because it's my name. =) Second would be Laurel, though.

When I took French my teacher called me this sometimes. Then when I took Italian the professor called me Low-ra (Low sounds like when you say "ow!" but with a L).
It's okay if you're french but I wouldn't use it in an English speaking country. I prefer Laura (Lor-a or Law-ra)even over my own name. Lauren is nice but will sound dated one day the way Laurie does now. I have never liked Laurel, Lorraine, Loretta, etc.

Ha in French class we all chose a name to be called by and Laure was mine. But it wasn't pronounced LOR it was more like LAR. Anyway, I really like it.

I think that Laure is a nice name! Of the Laur- names you mentioned, I like Laure and Laura the best.

It looks really incomplete to me, like someone forgot the L or the N. The sound is sort of pretty, though.

My favorite is Laurel.

I love the name Laure. It is my favorite of all the Laur- names. It's simple yet pretty.

Laure Amelia was the first combo that came to my mind.

I love the sound of Laure. The spelling may trip some people up, but oh well. I like Laure and Laurel.

these could work as sibsets or mn s:

Laure and Lara / Lera
Laure and Amelie
Laure and Chanel
Laure and Elodie
Laure and Noella
Laure and Monet

Agreed, people will probably think it's pr. like Laurie or that it's missing a letter. I think Lore is better.

The pronounciation thing is potentially annoying, but I prefer Laure, regardless.
