Laura, Laurel, Gloria, Lawrence (my nickname throughout high school for some reason:)Lawrencia, Lauren, Alora, Elora, Glory, Lourdes (although Lola is more common), Lorelei, Loretta, Lara, Lorissa,Laureen, Lorena, Lauriana, Loriann, Loraine, Lorraina, , Laurinda, Loranda, Lorelle, Lorenza, Lorna, Gloris, Loris, Gloretha, and various spellings of the above.
I prefer Lori as a stand alone. It's actully my aunt's name (and one of my mom's cousin who actully went by her middle name because she was in the same class as my aunt) and goes with the stand alone nature of the names of her sisters, Chris (Tina as middle name) and Wendy. The boys are a different story.
I think of Laurie as a boys name and Lori for girls... if that makes a difference Laurie for Laurence... Lori as a stand alone name but it could be short for something like others suggested
Laura Anne! ;) That's my name and I go by Laurie... For other suggestions I don't really have any new ones to add, but I second using the name Larissa.

Maybe if you really wanted the "Laur" thing you could do like, Laurelai?
