Laurence

I love Luke. Handsome, strong, classic.
I really like Landon. It’s also handsome and strong, I just don’t love it as much as Luke.
Laurence is old, stuffy and ugly. And I hate the nickname Larry.

Hmm. I like Luke. It seems short, sweet, and classic.
Laurence sounds cool, though, and there's a Lauren I wouldn't mind honoring.

Landon is last by a lot.

Landon is a little too trendy for me but it fits my style otherwise so it's my favorite of the options.

Laurence is okay but I couldn't live with myself if he ended up with the nn Larry. Luke has an unattractive sound (rhymes with puke) and I've mostly only seen it used by Star Wars fanatics. I also don't like nns as full names - I prefer Lucas.

Landon - strong and full of integrity
Luke is fine, but too short. I preder Lucien or Lucas
Laurence sounds old. Also, I don't like Laurie or Larry

Laurence, especially this spelling. I think it's handsome.

Luke, I am your mother. In spite of the Star Wars references, Luke would be my pick.

Landon - trendy and not my style

Laurence - I have some ancestors with this name, so it would be honoring, but I really don't like the nickname Larry. Last week, I created a poll asking about people's opinions on the name with the nickname Laurie. Here are the poll results:

Luke. I cannot stand Lucas, but Luke is handsome and relatively timeless. Laurence is nice but a little stuffy and Landon seems trendy to me.

Laurence, though I'd use the Lawrence spelling to avoid confusion with the French female name. Landon is what aircraft do, and I dislike Luke, Lucas and all their variants: just not a sound or a look that I find remotely attractive.
