Lawrence Bernard & Florence Dorothy
in reply to a message by Pickles
I'd pick Laurence over Lawrence any day, but Lawrence is decent, as long as he doesn't go by Larry. I like the association with TE Lawrence. Bernard is not my usual choice - it evokes a very specific image. Like... If Winnie the Pooh was a medieval friar with a penchant for mead instead of honey. It makes me think of St. Bernards (the dogs), which I think are quite a positive association.
I genuinely enjoy Florence very much. It strikes the perfect balance between natural and urban. I can never decide between Florence and Flora. I do hope she'd go by her fool name - neither Flo nor Florrie appeal. Dorothy is nice, if a bit frumpy. I might prefer the more extravagant and Latinate Dorothea with Florence, while saving Dorothy for Roman Flora.
