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.

Stick with Laurence (Laurie)

I like Laurence a lot.

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

I like Laurence, also like nickname Laurie.

Really dislike Terence and not keen on Kenneth either.

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.

I like Laurence. Smile

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.

No to Kenneth/Ken

Yes to Larry and Terry.
