Our boy name

[rachmumtobe]

Found out today that we're having our second little boy and think we've decided on the name Laurence Eric then surname

Both names are family names and he'll be brother to a Finley

What do you all think? xx

Cute

Thanks Fruitee anyone else?

 

[DissySunshine]

Is it pronounced LaurEHnce, or LaurAHnce? Either way, I love it Lawrence was my grandpa's name and would love to use it as a middle name.

Love Finley and Laurie is a really cute nn.

 

[rachmumtobe]

Thank you, I think I like it but more so if others do

 

[Rickles]

I went out with a very handsome Laurie in my teens - so I am a fan x

 

[babylove x]

Cute!

 

[rachmumtobe]

Do you think it's a name that ages well? I'm not too bothered about it suiting a newborn as they're so cute they can get away with anything IMO x

 

[Boo44]

Lovely! Will he be a Laurence or a Laurie day-to-day? I think it's a name that definitely ages well x

 

[rachmumtobe]

At the minute I can't see myself calling him Laurie, although I think it's a really cute nn. I was the same with Finley though, because it wasn't a name I'd used a lot growing up it didn't feel natural to say. I've worked with a Loz though and think I'll find myself saying Fin and baby Loz when I'm not saying Laurence.

Maybe that won't last though because I do think Laurie is a lot nicer x

 

[Rickles]

Defo ages well - I've seen it.

I know a Loz (my age - 30s / a little Laurie 4 / and an old Laurie 80sih...) xx

 

[rachmumtobe]

Thanks all I've started calling him Laurence rather than just baby now so slowly getting used to it x

 

[dizzy65]

It's not my personal taste, but there's nothing wrong with the name and goes well with his sibling congratulations on your little boy

 

[Eleanor ace]

I like it and really like the nn Laurie

 

[rachmumtobe]

I should really know this but is the nn Laurie said Lorry or Lawree? x

 

[Jungleland]

One of my closest friends is a Lawrence and his nickname is Lol which really suits him, I love the name x

 

[rachmumtobe]

Thanks hun, I'm starting to really like the name too x

 

[Pielette]

I really like Laurence, it's my DH's middle name

Laurie is said like lorry I think.
