Laurie is my name. I am constantly being called Laura (which was going to be my given name with the nickname Laurie), Lauren, or Lori.
Laurie sounds very nicknamish to me and I kind of wish it was shorter for something else: Larissa, Laura, etc.
It sounds either quite young or older/dated to me.

Laurie was the main character in the haunting book The Wave. She was very smart and independent and was one of the few who stood up for her beliefs. There was also a popular song in the 1800s called Annie Laurie. I think this is a pretty name and a better variation of Laura than the too-popular Lauren.
