For a boy- I think I love it. Any thoughts?

Other names we love are
Monty
Erwin

I like it! Completely love Lawrence though so I would probably go for that with nn Laurie.

Bit girly for my liking, sorry.
Monty sounds like a budgie
Erwin is about the best out of an awful bunch

Lovely name, I went to school with one in Infants though and always thought he was called Lorry. I thought it was strange he was named after a vehicle. It only recently occurred to me, that he must have been a Laurie.

I like Laurie (but would use it as a nn for Laurence)

I love Laurie. It's on my list although doesn't really work with surname. I would go Laurence as then shorten to Laurie (although I do understand that not everyone agrees with the long/short name thing) b

I think it looks silly as Lawrie.

Love Laurie - dd1 was going to be it if a ds.
Monty fine.
Don't like Erwin at all, sorry.

I assumed this was for a girl tbh. It does make me think of the guy from Little Women, but that spelling is used for girls a lot in America as Laurence is a French girl's name.

Lawrie is better for a boy imho.
