Re: Maurice & Laurence
I don't think the similar ending is really that noticeable; I didn't notice until you pointed it out.Laurie as a nn for Laurence would be pretty rare, it's fairly archaic nowadays. So you wouldn't really have to worry about "Laurie and Maurie" unless you purposefully introduced them that way. Something like Larry and Moe could be fun, but then that's getting into Three Stooges territory... Just make sure you don't have a third brother called Curly.
Maurice and Laurence suit each other. Very Edwardian! Laurence is such a handsome name, and it's nice to see Maurice getting some attention! I think Maurice is very cute. If the similar endings trouble you, Maurice & Laurent would be beautiful and a bit different.

Thank you for your comment! I’m glad you pointed out that they sound Edwardian, thats just what I like to hear! And I agree with you about Maurice getting attention, it’s sad to me that it dropped out of the charts :(Larry & Moe would be really cute together, but since you mentioned the Three Stooges that does make them a little awkward together haha
