Struggling with these two names.

Do you prefer one, if so why?

Luke has been a lifelong favourite but Rory is one I can't stop thinking about. Rory is no.7 where I live though!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Rory is nice but it's quite 'of the moment' in England so it depends where you live. I think it has a much deeper rooted history in Scotland and Ireland but in England it's rocketed out of nowhere over the past few years so risks feeling a bit of a trendy choice.

Whereas Luke has definitely stood the test of time. Personally I prefer Lucas to Luke, but there's nothing to dislike about Luke. If you've loved it for years I think you'll regret not using it.

Have you posted this before because if not the exact two names came up not so long back and like FoFanta I thought Gilmore Girls too.

Don't reject a name because young children struggle to pronounce certain letters, most of them learn to say their Rs.

Luke but Lucas and Luca are pretty popular. Rory is nice but some can't say R.

Surely that's not a reason not to use a name if you like it just because some people can't pronounce it

Rory.. but I'd spell it the Irish way
Ruaidhrí... meaning Red King

Luke is old fashioned and Rory is just awful for a grown man.

Lucas is better
