Looking for ideas - boy, girl, or gender neutral - to honor a [name_m]Larry[/name_m].
Nothing is off limits or off the table.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] scratching our heads on this one and struggling to find the right fit. I’ve got a pretty good list started, but don’t want to overlook what could be the right choice.
Thanks in advance!

[name_m]Lars[/name_m] for a boy, [name_f]Lara[/name_f] for a girl!
For a boy, [name_m]Laurence[/name_m] would be cute and it sounds close enough to [name_m]Larry[/name_m] without being too similar.
For a girl I think [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] or [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] would be pretty.
[name_m]Laurie[/name_m]
[name_f]Ary[/name_f]
[name_f]Arya[/name_f]
For a boy my best recommendation is [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m]. I know that today [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] is to many people a clunky old man name but it always could be revived. Also, [name_m]Larry[/name_m] was originally a diminutive for [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m].
For a girl my best recommendations are [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] because it has the same first syllable as [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m], which is what [name_m]Larry[/name_m] was originally a diminutive for.
However, if you cannot use [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m], [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], I recommend using another name that begins with L.
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] (perhaps with an L middle name)
[name_m]Laszlo[/name_m]
[name_m]Arlo[/name_m]
[name_m]Landry[/name_m]
[name_f]Carly[/name_f]
[name_f]Harley[/name_f]
[name_f]Hilary[/name_f]
[name_f]Mallory[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellary[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] for a girl would be absolutely adorable! Possibly with the nn [name_m]Larry[/name_m] (I love boyish nn for girls)
[name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] for a boy just sounds so classy.
Hard to add anymore because [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] and [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] are definitely some of my fav names atm!
I second the suggestions of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Lara[/name_f], [name_m]Lars[/name_m] and [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m]. With LawRENce you could use the nickname [name_m]Ren[/name_m] if that appeals.
You’ve already been given great names!
Lauralee
Leire- LAY-ree
Laraline
Lily
Lorrie
Lorea- lor-RAY-uh
Loren
Lorenzo
Leroy
For a girl:
Lara
Larissa
Lauren / Laura / Laurel
Lorraine
Loretta
Lyra (it’s almost an anagram of Larry, Lyrra would be an anagram)
And if Larry’s full name is Lawrence, what about Wren?
For a boy:
Lorcan (variation of Lawrence)
Law (a different Lawrence nn)
Lorenzo
[name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] / [name_m]Laurence[/name_m] is certainly the go-to name. I add my vote to it.
I propose the variation [name_m]Loren[/name_m]. It was a boy’s name some generations ago. And [name_m]Lorens[/name_m] is still used in other countries for boys.
[name_m]Leor[/name_m]
