[Opinions] Kelly or Laurence?
Yes, Kelly for a boy. Tell me which is better, or which you hate the least. "And by the way, dearie, your punctuation sucks canal water!"

I don't know! In theory I want to say Laurence because I enjoy Laur- names generally. I never really think about Kelly but I supposed it is nice on a boy. I'll say Kelly.

KellyI like Laurence a lot, but I think Kelly should be used more often on boys. It deserves a comeback as a male name.

KellyI think it's handsome as all get out. That said, I'd be more likely to use Laurence as it's meaningful to me.

If I were a guy I'd rather be a Laurence.
I'd be more likely to use Laurence, I think - not sure.
I expect I'd get along better with a Kelly, and I'd rather meet one.
I also approve of either name for a girl.

LaurenceI don't hate Laurence, though it's not a big favorite, and I do like it better than Kelly. I am of the camp that maintains that Kelly was too popular for girls to be kind to bestow on a boy. Laurence, as long as any nickname is not Laurie.

Really? I've known about four or five male Kellys in my lifetime, and they never seemed to have any problems.
