I think [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] Edwards sounds the best. I can’t explain exactly what about the flow of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] Edwards doesn’t work for me, but it’s more difficult to say that [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] Edwards. With [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] first, the name has such a lovely sound and flow to it. Very cute name. =]

I agree with everything that pp has said.

[name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] flows best to me. It seems very spunky.

I like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] better because it separates the L’s more. I think with [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] the L sounds are too close together

[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] - the Ls are awkwardly repetitive in [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] ("[name_u]Lee[/name_u]-[name_f]Lore[/name_f]"). Plus [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is so lovely as a first!

I love [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] because I love the name [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] in general, and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] sounds fabulous with it :slight_smile:

I voted for [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] as I dislike [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] as a first name and find [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] not an easy name to say with any combo.

Now, I love [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] as a first name, but I do think that [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] has a better flow. The L at the end of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], then B at the beginning of [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] almost makes an awkward full stop to me.

I agree wholeheartedly.

[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] Edwards and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] flow more nicely on paper and said “aloud” than [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].

I guess I just favour the name [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] over [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] too so think it belongs to go first :slight_smile:

Thank you guys for all of your suggestions! We’re going with [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] and we love the combo :slight_smile:

I have a hard time saying [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. However, I think [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] is lovely.
