Laurie is predominantly a female name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 160,000 people named Laurie in the US today.
The name Laurie's root letters are LR.
The letter L is indelibly connected to the ideas of love, learning and laughter and the romantic letter R is associated with the cheeky sexuality of the words racy, rapture, ribald, and ravish. It's no surprise then, that the combination of these two passionate letters projects such a defiantly lusty ambience. Their upbeat tones explain why the LR dominates such words as color, flora, clear, pallor, lurid and claret, and why we associate these names with people whose outlook on life is positive, creative, and free-thinking.
Lauries present an inquisitive and inviting façade to the world and seem to derive much of their energy from their interactions with other people. With their natural ability for being all things to all people, you could even say that Lauries are social chameleons. But in their quest to synchronize themselves with the needs of others, Lauries often lose touch with their own desires and have trouble staying motivated. This is why many Lauries approach new experiences with initial excitement before losing interest and turning away.
Like many people whose names begin with the letter L, Lauries have the political skills to succeed in their professional lives. Their talent for creating alliances while avoiding making enemies enables them to achieve great heights in business -- usually in the realm of people management, motivation and sales. But there’s a flightiness to them that prevents them from settling into their ideal careers until relatively late in life. Perhaps this is indicative of being so full of talent that life simply holds too many options to settle on just one. And don’t bother trying to pin Lauries to commitments; they’ll make their minds up when they’re good and ready, thank you very much.
The reluctance to accept responsibility is evident in the Lauries’ personal lives as well. And if this proves to be too frustrating for their potential mates, don’t expect any sympathy from the Lauries; they should just look elsewhere. By the same token, Lauries will not tolerate partners who take them for granted, and when teamed with mates who appreciate their need to keep their options open, these romances will be experiences to remember. These warm-hearted individuals know how to make their mates feel like they're the only people in their world.
With their highly developed tactile senses, Lauries enjoy nothing better than spending lazy afternoons cuddling in the arms of their partners. This is their refuge from their busy lives and they really don’t have to do anything particularly exciting, but when in the grip of ardor, their active imaginations can make for some very interesting evenings.
