Most definitely put LAURA as a middle name ... if you don't use Laura at all or even alternate the name you may very well regret it in the future.

I wanted to name my only child a girl, her middle name after my much loved sister and i almost looked at an alternative but as my DP & i agreed if we are to name her after someone who means the world to us & we greatly love than why change the spelling of the name because that special person has one name spelt one way and it's ' their ' name ... so i am so very glad i never changed the spelling or alternated the name anyway as i feel it wouldn't have the same or felt as special when it's actually the person you want to name your child after (hope that all made sense ).

The name Laura is incredibly important to you and there is a world out there full of names to be your DD's first name ... but there is only one Laura as a middle name ... so in saying that you will find a first name to go with Laura

I think to use the name Laura as a first name might be a little strange but that's just me ... but as a middle name most certainly.

Have you considered both Laura Paige as middle names (my DD has two middle names but then her surname is a short) but would it bother you seeing your surname is a long one ??

I think the first name would look better with no more than 5 letters.

Adele Laura
Elise Laura
Erin Laura

... i like Brooklyn's suggestions of Brea (Bree) and Shae .... and Feebs' suggestion of Nina
