Lady Banana posted this plan... you look up your name in the Urban Dictionary for the true meaning. Or something like that.

I like this one:

a young woman, typically associated with romantic themes. Though the name originally came from the Roman tradition of placing a wreath of laurels on victors' heads, it has developed more emotional ties in recent years.

The most famous Laura is from Dr. Zhivago in which she is a star-crossed lover who leaves her true love to marry another man.

Petrarch's muse is suspected to be the mysterious Laura de Noves (1310–1348), who was the wife of Count Hugues de Sade (ancestor of Marquis de Sade). Petrarch wrote hundreds of poems dedicated to her.

She is also mentioned in Walter Raleigh's poem, A Vision Upon This Conceit of the Faerie Queen as well as Martin Farquhar Tupper's poem, Laura (from Petrarch).

• "My Laura, my love, I behold in thine eyes twin daystars that Mercy has given to teach me on earth to be happy and wise and guide me triumphant to heaven."
