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!

I have a Laurence (with a w is traditionally a surname spelling apparently). No nicknames or shortened in the family. It’s a great name. 😊

But we do get “ Lozza” shouted from his friends on the touchline when he plays football !

I prefer the Lawrence spelling and use Law as abbreviation. As aside please promise me you don't call your daughter Pippa. Philippa is a beautiful name but i have always hated Pippa.

Ha, I totally agree!! We don't use Pippa

Philippa and Christopher is an awkward combination.

Laurence is a lovely name!
