If you like it then isn't that what matters?

I can't see any obvious issues and I much prefer that spelling of Rory to any others.

Love Jacob, not sure about Rory but it's your baby you'll have some people liking it some hating it like with most names...

nyldn · 09/03/2014 17:03

I like it!!!

sleepingbeautiful · 09/03/2014 17:07

I like it. Completely uncontroversial name, unless your surname is something to do with lions/tigers ;)

Frikadellen · 09/03/2014 17:17

I dont like Rory much Jacob is a nice name imo

KiwiBanana · 09/03/2014 18:44

I prefer Jacob to Rory and not really sure if they work together, but I've heard much worse names!

If you love it then go for it :)

goodtimesinbontemps · 09/03/2014 18:45

I prefer Ruairí to Rory.

CaipirinhasAllRound · 09/03/2014 18:54

I like it, think Rory's lovely

rockybalboa · 09/03/2014 18:54

Looooooove Rory! Have one myself Grin

KiwiBanana · 09/03/2014 18:56

Do NOT go for Ruairí! No one will ever be able to spell it and I bet a few people won't even know how to pronounce it!
Rory is much easier.

WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 09/03/2014 18:57

I like it - our son would have been called Rory if I could pronounce my r's properly Grin

Oriunda · 09/03/2014 19:05

MrsGazza · 09/03/2014 19:31

Yay! Great decision! Rory is an amazing name. Yes you guessed it, I have one! Love Jacob with it too!

Absolutely love Rory, but Jacob was massively popular a couple of years ago so not so keen on that, how about Lorcan?

meditrina · 10/03/2014 23:33

Rory's OK, Jacob's lovely.

Love Rory!

Ilikepancakes · 11/03/2014 22:51

I really like it.

noodlebum · 12/03/2014 14:59

Sounds good to me!

NadiaWadia · 12/03/2014 15:10

It's a very nice name but bear in mind that if he ever goes to live in the USA, that over there they seem to think it is a girls' name. Obviously they are completely wrong and bloody stupid about this, so probably you should ignore them, but just making you aware.
