[Opinions] Re: Laurence and Philippa
in reply to a message by Gia
Brilliant, especially Philippa.
I take it Laurence is Anglophone and therefore male? I always see it as French and therefore fem, so for a boy I'd use the Lawrence version.

hmmm... didn't realize it was only fem in Fr. Of course, the only Fr. speaker I recall meeting w/ the name is a gal from Belgium, so I'd just guessed it must be for both there... Apparently not... I think it looks better w/ the u in either gender though. Depending where 1 lives, if there aren't many Fr. speakers around, the chances of it being taken as fem are extremely low. My Belgian friend goes by Lolo.
