Hi all,
After MUCH debate dh and I have decided on this name for our little boy.
Dh is Irish and much prefers the spelling and pronunciation of Ruairi.
I love the name and am more than happy to choose it but I'm worried about making his life difficult as we currently live in the UK and plan to stay for the foreseeable future.
We are considering the spelling Ruari which is more phonetic and apparently also a recognised spelling.
What's everyone's views? Will Ruairi cause issues in the UK? How would you spell it?
Or do you think we should just go with Rory?
Especially interested to hear from people who have chosen Irish names with slightly challenging spellings for their children and whether or not you regret it!
Thanks!
