Can I please have some suggestions of boys names that could be shortened to Rory? Halo

I'm having trouble thinking of literally any!

Rory can be a nickname for Laurence.

I'm going to start calling mine Rorbert from now on, but I think he'd prefer Roranicus Grin

As a previous poster has already said, the only Rory’s I have known in “real life” as opposed to musicians or footballers, were both really called Gregory.

Rorbert? Smile

Rohan? I know someone who has one and his nickname is Rory.

Roranicus Grin

Watch Doctor Who episodes The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang for reference.

Does this remind anyone of the Hugh thread? Smile

I used to know a Roderick who went by Rory.

Rory is fine just as it is.

Theodore or Jethro could be shortened to Rory. It's not conventional but it's doable and would make phonetic sense.
