If baby feels like a Lawrence, but a less popular name is more to your taste, try out the beautifully rare Lorence. This boy's name is rooted in Latin and means "from Laurentum," referring to a region in south Rome known for its beautiful laurel trees. In ancient Rome and Greece, wreaths of bay leaves were worn like a crown as a "symbol of victory." Imagine how adorable your little sprout will look for their photoshoot with a tiny laurel crown!
