Opinions on Laurence

This is probably very outing if you know me. So pretend you haven't seen this if you think you do know me!

I am pregnant with my third child (boy) he has two siblings named Robert and Philippa. Looking for a name to go with these two. Current top pick is Laurence, but I also like Christopher. What are your opinions on Laurence, and do you have any alternative suggestions?

Thank you!

It's lovely. I especially like Laurie it's so nice and reminds me of little women.

I love Laurence but must admit every time I see it I mentally add “of Arabia”.

It’s a nice name but it will get shortened. Do you like the shortened versions - Larry / Laurie?
