My son's name is Lawrence Theodore; he is named after his great-grandfathe's. I love the name. We do NOT call him Larry; we dislike the name Larry. For short, we call our son LT. I am happy that we chose Lawrence, It'sounds sophisticated and is not very common.

Every Lawrence I know is nicknamed Larry (about 5 guys). Why not skip the formality and just go for Larry if you like that name.

i think the name Lawrence should mean strong and gentle rolled into one. my son is named Lawrence and he really strong when he needs to be gentle when it is called for. Strong on the outside - Gentle on the inside.
