WDYT of Laurel?
So...I'm still struggling with girl names. Laurel was our girl name when we were pregnant with DS but I wasn't really feeling it this time around. Well, I'm not really feeling ANY name this time around so I'm putting everything back on the table. 
My problem with Laurel is to me, it sounds like a mouthful.
Laurel.
WDYT?

Did you say it out loud before replying?
Does it get stuck on your tongue...the -orel sound is kinda hard for me to get out.
I guess she could always go by Lori if it become bothersome?!

I like Laurel a lot. It's actually made it to our top 4 names, so read any criticism I have of it within the context of it being a name that I really like and that we're actively considering using.
That said, I've started having concerns about it being a mouthful. We were originally considering Aurora, and I came to the same conclusion about that. Then last weekend, I was flipping through channels and Jerry Maguire was on. Turns out the sister character in that movie was named Laurel. I watched about 10 minutes of it, and suddenly started feeling unsure if I liked the way it sounded. I dunno. But ultimately, I think it's a WONDERFUL name or I wouldn't be considering it at this stage at all-- these kinds of considerations are the minutia that you get into when you're really trying to decide.
