I like
Laurel a lot and have considered it as a mn because although I love the meaning and the way it looks, it just doesn't roll off my tongue easily. On the positive, I've only known two women named
Laurel. One is retired and has always gone by
Laurie. The other is a mom in her late 20s or early 30s. Funny, both women were named
Laurel Anne.
Overall, I prefer
Laura as a fn. I do think
Laurel would make a beautiful mn (
Cassandra Laurel,
Katherine Laurel,
Susanna Laurel). Unisex? I can't see it.
