Re: Lawrence
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
It's OK. The only one I've known is always called Lawrie. I don't like Law or Ren.
My French friend was teaching in England and organised French penfriends for one ofher classes. One girl immediately felt special because, unlike all the rest, she had a boy penfriend! In fact, she had a girl, like everyone else: she didn't realise that Laurence is the French female form of Laurent. My friend was very kind when she explained, but when she got to the staffroom she giggled for a long, long time.
