Or any other brother for Miles suggestion?
Our 2nd baby is due in April. They will be a little brother or sister for Miles. We are sorted for a girl's name (same as if Miles had been a girl) but can't decide for a boy!
Thank you!

Rory by a country mile.

MyNameIsSuz · 10/01/2015 06:34

Definitely Rory!

Guy. Rory is hard to say.

Trooperslane · 10/01/2015 07:17

Rory.

cosmicglittergirl · 10/01/2015 07:20

Rory.

Guy. It's a classy name. It's much cooler and suitable for a male throughout all the ages. Rory is like Toby to me: cute when they're kids but a WEAK name for a man.

Rory

Guy. Beautiful name.

Rhubarbgarden · 10/01/2015 07:41

Guy

jaggythistle · 10/01/2015 08:30

Rory

They are both lovely but Guy goes with Miles better than Rory imo.

PrimalLass · 10/01/2015 10:54

Definitely not Guy. That guy (etc.)

Rhuaridh, rather than Rory.

PrimalLass · 10/01/2015 10:55

Rhuridh is another spelling. The first one should not have had the h.

mytartanscarf · 10/01/2015 11:09

Rory :) (Rhuridh???)

Guy every time (I am biased my Guy is adult now).

Bowlersarm · 10/01/2015 15:39

Rory.

thegreylady · 10/01/2015 15:41

Guy is easy to say and is an old name. Rory could go through a Worwy phase with his peers and could be unfortunate if he is given to tears and tantrums. On the other hand Roary the Lion is cute :)

dragdownthemoon · 10/01/2015 15:41

Rory! (Cos I am a doctor who fan)

squoosh · 10/01/2015 16:34

Rory. I know lots of adult Rorys so don't see it as a babyish name.

Re. the pronunciation, one of the Rorys I know goes out with a Vietnamese girl whose parents struggle with the Rs and call him Lolly. No biggie really.

Guy reminds me of Guy of Gisborne. And he was a meanie.

DramaAlpaca · 10/01/2015 16:39

Rory

avocadotoast · 10/01/2015 16:59

Rory. But only because I've only ever known one Guy and he was an arsehole!

bridgetsmummy · 10/01/2015 17:04

Love Rory
Hate Guy, it's a bit poncey IMO!

myotherusernameisbetter · 10/01/2015 17:11

I think Guy and Miles goes best but have no objection to Rory :o

Other suggestions:

Miles and Austin
Miles and Johnny
Miles and Jack
