No to both. Too many Rs.

Too common nowadays. I don’t see the appeal personally.

It might be a bit of a tongue twister if she can’t say her r’s!

Rory is a young female character in Gilmore Girls. She’s extremely clever, kind and beautiful. May have prompted some girls to be named Rory ( not her birth name in the series) It’s still v popular.

I always thought it was a terrible name for a girl when I watched it.

Cute. Aurora is very pretty and I love Rory as a nn.

Rory isn't great for a girl.
It feels a bit.... sorry for any female Rory's reading this....dated and dowdy.
Aurora is a very pretty name. Rory isn't.
It's like naming a child "Diamond" but calling her "Stone".
Sorry 🙁

Aurora is beautiful, I don’t like nicknames or shortening of names so not Rory.

Aurora is just perfect as it is.

It's nice but increasingly popular around where I am although obviously that depends on where you are.

muddyford · 10/12/2025 16:46

No from me. Why choose such a beautiful name and call the child another name?

Candleabra · 10/12/2025 16:45

I love it. So cute.
