ooops..
neutral Dirgis (X) : laurate is definitely more popular than dodecanoate (see google)

agree Gillian Scheibelein : in pure chemistry texts, I'd go for the IUPAC dodecanoate variant. However, the biochemists and medics often prefer trivial names i.e. laureate

rainerc is right in using the "salt" ending -ate instead of my suggestion as you find it together with CAS No. 004040-48-6 - but the correct spelling is "magnesium laurate".

And dodecanoic acid is one of several synonyms of lauric acid.
