Give baby a name that they can visit one day. Lauriston is a habitational name deriving from Old English. Usually a boy’s name, it means “Lawrence’s town.” Travel to Edinburgh, Scotland, and you will find streets and a castle with baby’s moniker. Lauriston Castle was built in the 16th century as a tower house overlooking the Firth of Forth. Today, its picturesque views and Japanese gardens are an oasis not too far away from the bustling city. No doubt you will be in paradise once baby Lauriston comes into your life, and might be lucky enough to make a trip together!
