Help[Opinions] Re: Laurie or Lori?
in reply to a message by LadyBug18
My sister is named Laurie (LAWR-ee). She's Laurie Ann, and most other Laurie's I've ever come across also have the middle name Ann.
I wouldn't use either for a daughter.
I love Laurel, Lara, Lorelei (and also Lorna).
I wouldn't use Laurence as a girls name. However my sister was actually named for Laurie in Little Women.

My mom loved "Little Women" too and that influenced her somewhat on choosing my name. It also influenced her on choosing Tara for my sister, since she loved "Gone With The Wind".

My mother originally wanted to use the sister's names. But Jo was taken by her sister and my father had a cousin who named her daughters Amy & Beth. I'm don't recall why she didn't use Meg. Therefore she decided on Laurie.
Everyone mispronounces her name as LOR-ee though. Our 5 year-old nephew just can't figure it out, he insists on calling her LOR-ee.
BTW, there are two other Laurie's that post on this board. One posts as Laurie, the other posts as Laurie2
