I like the name Rory,although I’m very biased as have a wee Rory in the family.
Rory is quite popular around here.There are at least 3 little boys in the playgroup called Rory.
I also think Henry is good name.
Not quite sure how you think Rory is awkward to say.

I don't understand Rory being difficult to say ? I find it preferable to Henry which I am not keen on.

I think it depends on how you say it. Have you tried calling him Rory for a few days then switching to Henry for a few days? See what feels more natural.

I quite like Rory! I don’t like Henry at all.

Surely Rory isn’t THAT bad!

I can’t stand Rory so vote Henry but unless it was out of Rory and Timothy I’d always vote against Rory
