Boy's name to go with Rory

DS1 is Rory, so looking for a boy's name that would go with Rory, but also not sound too similar. Looking forward to suggestions as we're really struggling to think of one (it was bad enough coming up with Rory first time round!)

OK Olive, I'll allow Edwin and Alexander, but really must insist on Duncan Wink

I loooove Rory but aleady have a Ralf. What about Hugh? My no. 2 was to be one if she had turned into a boy!

The Rory I know has a brother called Angus!! Smile

I love Duncan too (it's ds2's middle name). I also like Douglas. Do you want something Scottish, particularly? If so, Angus? Magnus?

My friend Sean has a brother called Rory. I think the names go very nicely together. Also, I utterly LOVE the name Rory :)

Highlandgirl · 22/02/2011 19:24

What about Toby?

farquor · 22/02/2011 19:26

Fergus, Angus, Finn, Oscar,

daimbardiva · 22/02/2011 21:55

Thank you for suggestions, people. can't use Duncan I'm afraid (sorry to disappoint kreecher!) as it is too reminiscent of a close friend's rotten ex. I love Finn, but Rory's cousin has already bagged it! I like Hamish but DH has denounced it "twee". Sigh. I like Magnus actually - that's one I hadn't considered. I am keen on something else Scottish.

The trouble is I just love the name Rory so much it's hard to find something I like as much (except Finn - damn you, SIL/BILWink

I have a Rory and a Finn. We also liked Tobias (Toby), Angus, Alexander and Fraser.

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 23/02/2011 16:53

Angus would go well with Rory. We have an Angus but we liked Tobias (Toby), too.

DH has a cousin called Rory who has a brother called Niall.

Inspirachion · 23/02/2011 21:23
