Having last minute discussions with DH before going in to have DC2 tomorrow. We have a name for a girl but can't decide between Lawrence, Rafe or Warwick for a boy.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Lawrence, but I prefer the Laurence spelling with nn Laurie.

Raphael with Rafe for short
Lawrence with Lawrie for short

Definitely not Warwick! Odd choice! city and cathedral? I prefer Basildon myself.

Laurence/Lawrence was on our list if DD was a DS.

Like Warwick. Not so keen on Rafe.

Lawrence

Warwick the King Maker!
Rafe if pretentious
Lawrence is better.

I like them all but warwick will not work very well internationally so I'd go with one of the others.

Prefer Rafe spelled Ralph.

Also am of a generation with too make annoying Laurences, so Warwick or Ralph :-)

Like Rafe, Warwick is refreshingly unusual.

Dislike Lawrence.
