Nimi toi Rautalan mieleen vanhojen elokuvien palvelijan, joka alistuneesti nyökkäillen sipsuttelee isossa ruokasalissa tarkistamassa, että kaikki on varmasti valmiina mahakkaan tilanomistajan ja hänen rouvansa ruokailuhetkeä varten. Kävi mielessä myös mainoksen Elovena-tyttö, vaikka Lauran hiuksen olivat pikimustat ja hänellä oli korvissaan mustat napit. Hutiin siis meni Rautalan arvaus. It was given by the nurse, who had a name tag above her left breast: Laura. The name reminded Rautala of the servants in old firms, who submissively nod and tiptoe around in the large dining hall to check that everything is ready at the dinner table for the landowner and his mistress. The Elovena girl seen in advertisements also came to mind, even though Laura had jet black hair and her ears had black ear buds, so Rautala's guess was wrong.
