I have a Ruairidh, we live in England. Prepare to have lots of people go ConfusedConfusedConfused if you plan to spell it that way. But saying that, I absolutely adore his name and wouldn't have it spelt the other way Grin

Rory. If the pronunciation is the same there's no need to give your boy a name which he'll spend his whole life spelling out to others...

Love the name though :)

If you plan on staying in England, Rory I think.

I know a baby ruairí. Pronounced the same as Rory. I'm Irish. I prefer the Rory spelling though .

Rory will be so much easier for him. If you spell it the first way you are setting him up to either having it spelt wrong or spelling it out for the rest of his life.

like the name, but the other spelling is way too bizarre for my liking
