I was thinking about this name last night when I started fretting needlessly (as I often do) about how I could be able to honour my mom if I had a son instead of a daughter. Her name is
Lori, so I thought maybe
Laurence. (I also like
Lauritz, which is like a magical mashup of her names,
Lori Rita -
Rita is my great-grandmother whose nickname was Ritz).
Is
Laurence a close enough boy version of
Lori, do you think? What do you think of
Laurence - do you prefer
Lawrence, or think it is just too geeky and not ripe for revival?
