Anyway to answer the question:
Laurence, I have found that Laurence people are gentle and polite, but Lawrence people are pushy, selfish and generally unpleasant. Maybe it is the w.

According to this thread my son has a soft boi name and I have a butch lesbian one. 😐

Think I may have already used up all my fucks for today and I'm fairly sure reading that totally vacuous Guardian article has lowered my IQ by a fair few points. Time to go...

Leo means Lion, not sure it screams soft to me.
Still not sure what you mean to be honest. Have you got any more examples?

The butch lesbians I know are called Sue, Heather and Val.

I didn’t know it was a whole sub category of names Hmm

Pronounced 'boy' and he is a boy

I want to know about the LBGT toy library.

Ah sorry, the toy library is not LGBT, it was just that particular baby group. Most of the Saturday groups are for Dads, but I saw this one had women in it (lots in fact) so I thought "Great! They've finally realised some mothers have jobs!" and trotted in.

It was a very normal playgroup except everyone was 20% more right-on.

Theo and noah definitively if you just want softer sounding.
