My DP and I have a few ideas for our DS what do you think of these:

Laurence
Oliver
Robin
Lance

Oliver is definitely my favourite out of those - though it is quite popular.
Dont like the others though, sorry!

MrsJohnDeere · 19/12/2011 16:42

Love Robin

Like Laurence

Oliver ok but very popular

Don't like Lance.

Love Oliver.

Not keen on Lance or Laurence at all.

Like Robin but find it a bit weak for a boy - maybe because I know 3 Robins/Robyns and they are all female!

Laurence - love it: dd1 would have been it had she been ds. Laurie or Teddy for nn.
Oliver - nice
Robin - love it
Lance - dreadful

I like Oliver and Laurence best. Not keen on Robin or Lance I'm afraid.

Wouldn't use Laurence Oliver though - too similar to Laurence Olivier!

Well I like Lance but DH vetoed it for us.

SootySweepandSue · 19/12/2011 18:41

Love Laurence over the others. I would avoid Oliver due to it's popularity. Lance is too Neighbours/Home & Away (can't recall which). Robin just ok.

What about Lewis? It's a bit like Laurence/Lance...

scentednappyhag · 19/12/2011 18:41

Lance reminds me of boils.
But I've always loved Ollie/Oliver.

BlueChampagne · 20/12/2011 11:58

Laurence is my favourite. We'd have had one except a close friend beat us to it.

CandiceMariePratt · 20/12/2011 12:39

Laurence with nn Larry is my favourite

Yummymummyyobe1 · 20/12/2011 14:51

Thanks ladies. I think we like Laurence Oliver. NN for Laurence Laurrie. xx
