Diminutives of Laurențiu or Lavrentiy?

Laurențiu is Romanian and Lavrentiy is Russian.

I'm not familiar enough with these cultures to know any myself, but I'm interested in using one in a story if one exists. The family is part Russian and part Romanian so either cultures' pet form(s) would be fine.

Thank you.
