I feel guilty loving
Laurence for a boy the way I do. One terrible day I learned that it's actually a French feminine name, not masculine. Oh, the horror. Now I have to wrestle with my conscience. I'm always nagging others about authenticity when it comes to gender. Not I'm caught in my own trap.
But then I have a cookie and all is well in hypocrite-town.
One of the best combos I ever saw in the real world was
Eamonn Laurence. Oh, the loveliness of that one.
Lucky boy.
I love both
Lawrence and
Laurence for a boy.
Lawrence is more stately.
Laurence is more romantic. It just depends on which image I want to project at that moment.
Yes,
Laurence is a wonderful way to honor Mom
Lori. But I have to give preference to
Lauritz. That mashup is toooooo cooooool to pass by. Plus, I love
Lauritz anyway. You could have another nn Ritz on your hands, this time a boy. :-)
