Kane and Abel

I like Luke and Rory.

moonshinepoursthroughmywindow · 12/12/2023 22:15

I like them both and I think they sound good together without being excessively matchy.

@Demainsdeslaube that's really interesting because in my accent it's like ROAR-AY, whereas I say worry like WURRY

Good to know Gilmour Girls isn't a bad association to have!

I mean I've watched Gilmore Girls 300 times and yes, there are characters called Rory and Luke but i didn't make the connection! I wouldn't worry about it personally.

Demainsdeslaube · 12/12/2023 19:48

Rory sounds like "worry" with my accent. I do not like it. Luke is brilliant.

Oh @ChildrenOfTheQuorn I haven't seen Gilmour Girls! Is this a bad connection?

Also maybe I'm wrong but the R issue seems largely accent dependent and we roll our Rs in Scotland so should be OK.

Really like them both, especially Rory

Rory is very popular, and so are Luca and Lucas - so just depends if that bothers you

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 12/12/2023 19:09

Gilmore Girls connection. Immediately.

janfebmarchapril · 12/12/2023 18:57

Lovely

mathanxiety · 12/12/2023 16:51

Lovely names, and they go well together.

purpledahlias · 12/12/2023 15:47

It's not that noticeable in some names but glaringly obvious in a name like Rory

Exactly this. I wouldn't risk it.

Mummyme87 · 12/12/2023 15:31

They’re okay names, don’t love either but not offensive and if you like them that’s what matters

MerryChristmasToYou · 12/12/2023 15:29

@booktokbear , many people can't. It's not that noticeable in some names but glaringly obvious in a name like Rory

SwishSwashSwooshSwersh · 12/12/2023 15:17

I prefer Rory with other one syllable names like Max, Huw, Kit, Rafe,

Doublebiscuit77 · 12/12/2023 15:14

An excellent choice for a pair of twins!

SwishSwashSwooshSwersh · 12/12/2023 15:13

Rory and Eric are lovely!

Dislike Luke.

Mischance · 12/12/2023 15:11

Sounds great - all you have to do now is tell them apart! Smile

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 12/12/2023 15:07

They work well together😊

PoppyCup · 12/12/2023 14:45

I like those a lot. They work together without appearing too connected. Lovely choices.

TrustPenguins · 12/12/2023 14:44

Nice, particularly Luke 👌

purpledahlias · 12/12/2023 14:39

Don't think there's going to be tons of people not going to be able to say their R's op!

You'd be surprised! And just imagine if your son called Rory struggles with his R...Shock

uncomfortablydumb53 · 12/12/2023 14:22

Just perfect

SomeoneYouLoved · 12/12/2023 14:21

Good choice.
