Laurence

[Nelleflowerpot]

Opinions please
Also Terence, Kenneth as similar

[FrancisdeSales]

No to Kenneth/Ken

Yes to Larry and Terry.

[Liz09]

I like Laurence.

Not a fan of Kenneth, and not a fan of Terrence. Terrence/Terry is very popular here among older men, but it doesn't have the same vintage chicness that some of the other older names have.

[HeteronormativeHaybales]

Laurence is lovely.

Terence and Kenneth - I'm immediately reminded of the thread that's running on Klaus where I said it was the German equivalent of Derek or Geoffrey. I might now add 'or Terence or Kenneth'. Grandad names without grandad chic. And nothing like Laurence! IMO.

[Dontrocktheboat]

I like Laurence, also like nickname Laurie.

Really dislike Terence and not keen on Kenneth either.

[DramaAlpaca]

I like Laurence a lot.

I dislike Terence and Kenneth and don't think they are in the same vein as Laurence at all.

[Ham69]

Stick with Laurence (Laurie)

[NapQueen]

Lawrence (rather than Laurence) was on my list.

My dad is Terry so it's too old man for my liking.

Kenneth again similar. Too old but not old enough to be coming back around.

Aside from Lawrence they are all in the "Brian Alan Keith" genre.

[stareatthetvscreen]

use a w :)

[BikeRunSki]

Laurence always looks like it should be a girls name to me (I went to a French primary school, where is was).

Lawrence is better.

Kenneth and Terence are old bloke names that have not become chic yet!

[ironrooster]

Prefer Lawrence too.

[Sophronia]

I love Laurence and Laurie for short, prefer this spelling to Lawrence.

Terence is ok, and I like Kenneth and Kenny.

[Lilacpink40]

Another stick with Laurence vote!

[RandomName9]

My brothers middle name is Kenneth (he is 23!!!) It is horrendous & he hates it!!! 😂
I like Lawrence though.

[Porcupinetree]

I think they all sound old blokes names to be honest.

[Tellmewhyohwhy]

Really awful, all three. Lawrence is just about passable but the one I know calls himself Loz as he hates it and it doesn't suit him.

[VioletBam]

Lawrence is a much better and older spelling. I love it.

[VioletBam]

Hate Kenneth love Terry.

[HoratioNightboy]

Ooh, not much love for Kenneth.

It's my favourite of the three; a very strong, manly name. Also regal, being the name of three Scottish kings.

I've never been keen on any names ending in -ence. They all seem a bit 'wet' to me. Sorry.

I've only ever met one Lawrence who was known as Lala. I could never bring myself to say it.

[SunnyL]

Lawrence is my nephew and I still don't like it.

[sonlypuppyfat]

I had an Uncle Lol its not a nice name

[OliveV]

I don't like any

[Grumpysfirstwife]

Love Laurence, but I would because I used it for one of my sons names.

[plimsolls]

Oh I LOVE Laurence. Still kind of considering it for ours if it's a boy. Laurie is just such a great name and I can imagine it suiting all sorts of personalities.

[2ManySweets]

Use a "u" for a Euro-feel (NOTE: it can be a girls name in France when spelled like this but I think it's so chic).

Love it x

[SteviebunsBottrittrundle]

This is such a weird coincidence; I was just thinking yesterday how much I love the name Lawrence! Was banking it for (very hypothetical) future boy name. It just popped into my head for some reason. I think it's great; it's unusual but elegant without being too much. If I had a boy tomorrow I would definitely use it.
