Just that really - my son has a friend in the local girls school called Larry. I have met her in passing once or twice and she seems a lovely girl. Meeting her set me wondering what her actual name is - Laurence? Asking DS about this just results in a shrug of the shoulders.

I knew a Larry whose proper name was Alorie, a name I've never come across again since then.

Her parents are fans of the Archers. Lucky she escaped being called Shula or Jolene.

😁😁😁

I used to know a Charlotte who went by Larry.

Might not be anything to do with her first name as her surname could be Lamb.

I knew a Larry when we were kids, it was short for Lorraine (which she hated).

I'm guessing it's Lowry with an English accent so Lah-ry. Otherwise Larissa.
