I came across a book by Nora Roberts the other day and picked it up. The heroine's name is Laurellie, Laurel for short. I think it's supposed to be pronounced like Lorelei, since the nn is Laurel. Opinions?

I said it like Laur-Ellie. If it's supposed to be Lorelei, ugh, horrible.

I would have that Laur-Ellie, but she's firstly and mostly referred to as Laurel in the book. The only person who refers to her by her "full name" is the guy who's chasing her and he does it to tease and irritate her. Haha.

Laur-ellie sounds like someone twisting my name and mating me with Jelly. just ew.


also, I would never thought of my name as short for anything. very odd
