What do you think about this name for a boy?
Laurie...? I'm a writing a horror novel, and the primary protagonist is a young male. My inspiration for this novel is Halloween (1978/2007), and I'd like to pay tribute to that film by naming the character Laurie. I want the character to be a boy, because every horror film/book has a female protagonist who always lives. Your opinions? Thanks!

Honestly I find it really feminine. I personally do not like it for a boy. You could use it as a tribute by making it his last name which I think would be more suitable. Or perhaps naming him Lawrence or Larry, which are very similar but more masculine. In the end, it's up to you and what you want to do, but that's what I'd recommend.

Laurie was the name of the neighbor in Little Women, just so you know. That's what I think of anyway.

That name is fine. You might use the spelling "Lori"... or "Lorrie" (or if it's in England, "Lorry").
Hey, you are the author, it's your decision. Pretty much every name has been used in a book so far, so don't worry about that.
