Laurie for a boy??

[SavannahMayfield]

Opinions on Laurie for a boy. I love the name but not a massive fan of Lawrence so it would have to be his name and not a nickname!

It's a brilliant name and I know a lovely 9 year old Laurie (not Lawrence).

My Dad is Laurie. Not short for anything. It's a great name!

I have an adult nephew Laurence, but in 10+ years of teaching have never come across one in primary schools. I know a few who are 50+, known as Loz or Larry, but never met a Laurie. It is quite cute though.

I love it too. If I’d had another boy I was rooting for Lawrence (nn Lawrie). Slightly different spelling but same sounds.

Lawrence is a family name on one side and I really like it. But as Lawrence. It's shortened to Larry for any American relatives. 'Laurie' is Susan Dey in the Partridge Family to me.

Laurence Fox, unfortunately, is a recent bad attention-seeking one.

Lawrence is a better spelling for a boy.

I know a female Laurence.

Personally I don't like it but it's every parents choice so if you like it go ahead x

I love this name!

I so wish I had had a boy so I could have used it.
