I'm not sure which spelling I'd go with. I think it would depend on the letters/spellings of the other names, for me.
According to: http://www.thinkbabynames.com,/ Lawrence is a later English form of Laurence. And Laurence is a feminine form of Lawrence. ???

I kinda like Laurence, but I keep thinking of "Laura" because of the spelling, so I'll go with Lawrence

I think Lawrence is better. Laurence kinda looks girly.

Lawrence, definitely. Makes it a little more modern.

Lawrence if you spell it the other way it will forever be spelled wrong.
