Laura is the feminine form of the Late Latin Laurus , meaning "laurel". In ancient Rome, the leaves of laurel trees were used to create victors' garlands. The name has been in use since the 13th century.

It also brings to mind Laura Ingalls Wilder and her Little House on the Prairie series of books.

Willa is an English name from the Germanic element wil meaning "will, desire".

It brings to mind Willa Cather, a novelist who wrote of the pioneer experience and the hardy people—especially women—who made the American frontier their home.

Willa feels creamy and warm, pale pink and soft.

Beatrix is thought to be from Viatrix , a feminine form of the Late Latin name Viator meaning "voyager, traveller". It was altered in the middle ages to be associated with the Latin beatus meaning "blessed, happy". It's often said to mean, "she who brings happiness". How sweet!

It makes me think of the soft illustrations of Beatrix Potter, tea parties, pretty and soft Jersey cows, and flowering meadows. This is a name that Jay really likes and is on the list of names he'd actually want to use as well so it sparkles a bit brighter in my eyes. I'm not allowed to mention any negative associations lest I taint the name for him!

Farah is a name meaning "joy, happiness" in Arabic from the root فرح (fariḥa) meaning "to be happy". I also think of the Old High German element fara meaning "journey" is most commonly found in names like Farahild.

Farah feels sweet and bookish, something like a cozy and quiet library. It feels like golden meadows on a cool day but there's plenty of sunshine.
