I agree, I think of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] as a name first, adjacent to [name_f]Laura[/name_f] and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]. Especially next to [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f] I think it reads as ‘name’ rather than ‘word’.
[name_f][/name_f]I really enjoy the way [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] sounds with [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f] (two syllables, no other repeating sounds). [name_m]In[/name_m] this case I think it works well because of the Ls. [name_m]The[/name_m] fluid L and R sounds flow nicely with [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f]. [name_m]The[/name_m] L at the end of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is soft and feels like a natural conclusion. I prefer this to names with clunkier consonants.
