Girls names that shorten to 'Laurie'

[Wiggy29]

So far I have Lauren or Lorelai. Any other ideas?

It take it Laurie is the name you want? Why not just use Laurie?

I thought it was Lauri for a girl and Laurie for a boy.

What about Lauriemma, thats a friends name.

Laurel?

Lauren?

Oh, sorry, just seen you've already thought of Lauren. Laurie is nice on it's own.

Laurence

Why would you 'shorten' Lauren to Laurie? It's exactly the same length and syllables Laurie is a lovely name in it's own right and not too popular at the moment.

I can only think of Lauren or Laurel. My dad's name is Lauri.

True LeeCoakley but lots of nickname versions of names are the same length. Jack is a nickname for John. Sally for Sarah. Same number of syllables.

Don't know if I'll persuade DP to have it on as the full name. Thanks for pointing out it's Lauri for a girl- that could have narrowly missed an embarrassing mistake! Not sure if girl or boy yet and do like the sound of it for a boy too. Thanks folks.

Laura?

Laurie for girls round here! And the spelling is nicer.

I would just go with Laurie. Lovely name.

Laurinda

No it's definitely Laurie for girls. Lauri with just the I at the end would be pronounced Laur-EYE and it's definitely not the plural of anything so Laurie is the correct spelling.
By the way it can be used as a version of the name Laura, though it's not a nickname of Laura

I know a Laurence, nickname Laurie. It is the female version of Laurent.

Alternatively Laura?

No, Lauri looks wrong. Laurie is much nicer for a girl!

Lauri is a Finnish boys name.

florence with nn lorrie

Lorrie? Sounds like Lorry and is not very feminine imo.

Laurie much nicer imo.

Larrissa?

I love Florence for Laurie!

I only know boys called Laurie - is definitely a boys name in my opinion as I don't think it sounds feminine at all. Americans use it for females but it sounds different with their pronounciation and a Lorry isn't used to describe a big truck over there!

If you must use it for a girl then Larissa or Lorena might be other options..

Laurie looks and sounds very feminine to me.

For a boy Lawrence is nice.

Those of you familiar with Antonia Forrest's Marlowe books will remember the girl twin called Laurence known as Laurie.It is a great name.

Laurence is a very popular girls name in France.
