When I was a child (say around 7 or 8) I was convinced that Laurence was a girls name. Probably because it's similar to my sister's name Laura. However, now I don't see it as a female name at all. There was a teacher at school called Mr Laurence who was always joked about (he was rather large), so not only do I regard it as masculine, it doesn't feel usable to me either.
