Re: Laurie?
The two Lauries I have known were just Laurie, so I think it would be fine as a full name. However, if you wanted to use it as just a nn, you could have the full name be Laura, Lauren, Laurel, Lauretta/Loretta Larissa, or Laraine. Personally, I don't like the name Laurie, it just sounds middle-aged and bad-perm, heavy makeup to me. I do like Lori some better. My mother is named Lorraine and some of her friends still call her Lori.Laurie has also sometimes been used as a boys' nn, like in Little Women. I think Theodore/Ted/Theo would have been much for young Mr. Laurence to use though. And my favorite nonfiction book "Life a Among the Savages" there's a boy named Laurie who is very funny. The book implies that he eventually insisted on being called Lawrence.
