About Laurie
A sweet and sophisticated nickname which feels fresh again after many years in style limbo. For literature lovers, it brings to mind Theodore "Laurie" Laurence from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Another famous bearer is English actor Hugh Laurie.
Laurie for girls#2842 US
Laurie morphed into the more streamlined Lori in the sixties but now feels dated for a girl in either spelling. Update Lauren has been renovated as Laurel or Laura itself.
If you're looking to name a baby girl after a grandma Laurie, one popular option today is Daphne, which also means laurel. The mythical Daphne was transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's overly ardent attentions.
Pronounced LOR-ee.
As of October 2026, Laurie ranked #8940 in US births in 1990 SSA, peaked at #738 in 1893.
