Adam, Jonathan or Lawrence?

[Sophronia]

My friend is down to these 3 on her shortlist for a boy and would like to know which people prefer.

[Susiethetortoiseshellcat]

I love Adam

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Adam

[rizlett]

Laurence.

[GrumpySausage]

Adam, then Jonathan. Not keen on Laurence.

[TomaszCanSchafernakerMeAnytime]

Adam, then Laurence, then Jonathan.

[SerfTerf]

Adam.

[SerfTerf]

Laurie is very nice but I'm not mad on Laurence itself.

[jellycat]

Jonathan, then Adam. Not Laurence. A warning though: lots of people can't spell Jonathan (although they think they do know how to spell it so they don't ask how it's spelled -they just write it down wrong!).

[HappyAxolotl]

Lawrence with a w! Though they are all lovely names.

[ReinettePompadour]

Adam or Laurence with a 'u' NOT a 'w'.

[grufallosfriend]

Laurence is a girls name. The feminine version of Laurent. In the US Laurie is also a girls name

Lawrence is a boys name.

I prefer Jonathan.

[badabing36]

Adam or Lawrence.

[demirose87]

Jonathan definitely

[MikeUniformMike]

Jonathan, but it's a bit dated. And it ends up being Jon or Jonny.
Lawrence and Laurence are boy's names. I prefer the u spelling. It's going to be Larry or Loz. Laurence Llywellyn-Bowen is enough to put me off it.
Jonathon is just wrong.
Adam is ok.

[jellycat]

And I can't spell Lawrence 😳 In my defence I just copied the posters just before me!

[SerfTerf]

Lawrence and Laurence are both legitimate spellings @jellycat but it's nicer with a 'U'

[20thcenturybitch]

Another vote for Adam from me. Others are fine choices too though.

[n0ne]

Adam

[SerfTerf]

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence

[jellycat]

The OP spelled it Lawrence though SerfTurf

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Adam

[Lulette]

Jonathan.

But PP is right, people can't spell it. It's always Jonathon or Johnathan (which I have never heard anyone actually spell it that way).

[mintich]

Lawrence then Jonathan

[itssquidstella]

Jonathan, then Adam, then Lawrence (although I prefer the spelling Laurence and the nn Laurie). Lawrence is a bit wet.

[ClaraLane]

Lawrence! It's my brother's name and I love it. He's never been a Laurie either, always just a Lawrence.
