Our last name sounds a lot like Purkle (rhymes with Purple) but is spelled very different.
Is [name]Laurel[/name] Purkle too “L” heavy? Especially with sister [name]Lucia[/name]?
We didn’t plan to continue L’s as a theme but I am liking this name a bit. We will not have a third child so no need to consider starting a pattern.
Thanks!
It’s not that [name]Laurel[/name] can’t go with a surname that has an L in it, but [name]Laurel[/name] and Purkle rhyme, so that is a no-go for me. It sounds sort of comical, unfortunately.
I do really like [name]Laurel[/name], so it’d be a toss-up but personally I would look for something else.
Me too.
[name]Lauren[/name] Purkle could be a great alternative.
I probably wouldn’t choose an L name with [name]Lucia[/name] but I wouldn’t want to have to worry if the L is a growing theme for all future children as well.
I agree with the others–something like [name]Laurel[/name] [name]Lawson[/name] or [name]Laurel[/name] [name]Merlin[/name] could have worked (although still very “L” heavy!), but [name]Laurel[/name] “Purkle” rhymes, which makes it much less usable, imo. Which is sad, because [name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Laurel[/name] are just darling together! But yes, it’s definitely a no-go for me, too, sorry.
