The only Laurie I know is male but he does get a lot of post address to Ms Laurie XXXX

The only Loz I know is a Laurence. Or Lawrence, can't remember which.

DS is Laurie and has never been called Loz! He's Laurence officially but has always been known as Laurie. We get a lot of comments about it being a great name! I love that it is fairly rare although I do know 5 other boys called Laurie so maybe becoming a little more popular Smile

I assumed it was for a girl at first...but as far as the nn. Loz, I've only heard Laurens referred to as that.

Why don't you call him Lawrence/Laurence nn. Laurie..

I know a British boy Lawrence/Laurie (almost 15yo). Names are what we make them.

I never heard of Loz before.

Laurie is a girls name to my ears, short for Lauren or Laurence.

For a boy I'd choose Lawrence or Laurent (male version of Laurence).

I really like Laurie, and don't think it's much used. Is it short for Laurence?
