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

I'm having trouble thinking of literally any!

Can just think of Rory in gilmore girls. So Lorelei... Or Victoria at a push, sorry they are both girls names. As suggested though, Rory is lovely for Roderick and I might steel that if we ever have another boy

I have a Rory and still love the name 10 years on!

Thanks for your suggestions :)

Unfortunately I am not a fan of Roderick at ALL but I've been comforted in the fact that Rory is a name in and of itself :D

It's not my top choice anyway but it is growing on me :)

But these are just longer ways of spelling essentially the same name.

OP was looking for something like Rorystonleigh or Fredrorylike which could be shortened to Rory.

Roddy or Rod would be the more common shortening for Roderick.

Rory is just Rory.

I was at school with a Rory whose full name was Roderick.

Yes sorry I was just googling and realised it's not really short for anything! Blush

That has reassured me that I can just use it if we like it, thank you Halo

That's because it's a name and not short for anything! There are various ways to spell it though.
