I thought I had a final combo picked out, but it turns out I don’t. I’m stuck between the combos [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f], and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] is a name that I absolutely adore, but it doesn’t honor anyone in our family.
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] honors me in a way because I was supposed to be named [name_f]Emma[/name_f]. My mom adores the name [name_f]Emma[/name_f], and has adored it ever since she was pregnant with me.
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] obviously honors me with [name_f]Emma[/name_f], and then [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would honor my maternal grandmother, named [name_f]Janet[/name_f], who passed away before I was born.
I would love to hear your opinions on each name and get some suggestions on middle names for the name [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].
I’m not a big fan of [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] and I do love classic names, that’s why [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] sounds gorgeous to me. I prefer just [name_f]Emma[/name_f] rather than [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] because of the flow of it. Both combos are stunning.
I like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] the best! Or if you want to honor your grandmother, [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is also really lovely and flows beautifully (but the double middle name is possibly unnecessary if you weren’t close with her?). [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] is not my style.
LOL I think you already know the answer to this! Go with your gut and name her [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! It has a wonderful flow and endears her name to You, Mom and Grandma! I think she will love it, if not just think of all the nn’s she can choose! Congrats and Go for it! Keep us posted!
Have you considered [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. It gives you the name you adore and also honors. I think it flows very well.
The connection to [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is sweet, but I don think it’s enough to beat out name you really love. I’d go with [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u].
Could [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] be an option? That way it honors you and your mom and it has [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] which you seem to love so much.
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] sounds very “cool” to me, I love it
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is pretty and as it’s honorary i think it’s the best choice
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is pretty, but doesn’t flow, to me anyway. However I adore just [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
