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.

Sounds good to me!

Ilikepancakes · 11/03/2014 22:51

I really like it.

Rory's OK, Jacob's lovely.

Allalonenow · 10/03/2014 23:14

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

rlrmamma · 10/03/2014 21:51

Thank you everyone love Rory and sure on that but not completely sure on Jacob x

I like it.

SimplySara · 09/03/2014 20:56

Great name!

Dixy30 · 09/03/2014 19:34

Love it

Mumof3xx · 09/03/2014 19:32

Rory is lovely

Not too keen on Jacob

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!

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

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.

rockybalboa · 09/03/2014 18:54

Looooooove Rory! Have one myself

CaipirinhasAllRound · 09/03/2014 18:54

I like it, think Rory's lovely

goodtimesinbontemps · 09/03/2014 18:45

I prefer Ruairí to Rory.

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 :)

Frikadellen · 09/03/2014 17:17

I dont like Rory much Jacob is a nice name imo

sleepingbeautiful · 09/03/2014 17:07

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

I like it!!!

alita7 · 09/03/2014 13:19

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...

MamaPain · 09/03/2014 13:00

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.
