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.
