Rory?

[leedsladyx]

Really started to grow on me. What are your thoughts?

Between Rory and Louie at the moment. Can not seem to agree on any other names so new suggestions would be helpful

I really like Rory.

I like Louis more, but it has to be spelt like that for me.

Great names.

I know quite a few friends who have chosen the name Rory recently. Personally I really don't like it, but you would be in good company if you did choose I'm sure. Popular without being overused.

Pressed Post too soon!

I really like Louie, great name

I love it - dh vetoed it for ds and I was gutted.

A tradesman came to our house last week and he was called Rory - it's such a friendly name to introduce yourself as!

I prefer Rory. I associate someone strong and fun with that name. I find Louie a bit wet for some reason.

Rory is nice, I don't think it will ever become too popular.

I can't say Rory. Waweee
Louis is lovely or Lewis, but that spelling reminds me of one of Donald Duck's nephews.

Makes me think of Rory from Gilmore Girls - so in my head it is a female name.

Love it! My DS is named Ruairí, Irish version.

Rory - a strong and stylish name. Love it.

It may be a female name in your head, Lorelei, but in the UK and Ireland Rory is just about always a boy's name. I like it and prefer it to Louis. Agree that Louis is a far better spelling than Louie.

Love it. The nn for Roderick, which I also love. Both can be spelled English or Gaelic or Erse.

Love it. One of my favourite boys' names.

Thanks for all the useful feedback everyone. Coming to think of it I do prefer the spelling Louis. We know a Louis and it is pronounced Lewis, which is DH point, With the spelling Louie, no one can really go wrong! I agree Louis looks much better written down.

Rory is definitely my favourite at the moment, however DH is not too keen and prefers Louie with this spelling.

I can see us never agreeing!

Love the name Rory.
The one I know has family members Aidan and Calvin.

Love Rory, and prefer that to Louie.

I love Rory, it's one of my favourite names.

I don't dislike it, but it has become a very popular dogs name around here, so that puts me off

I love it but wasn't brave enough to use it, some years ago. Wish I had. I liked Lionel too. Bit of a theme developing there...

I have a Rory. His name was practically unheard of when he was born as we lived in London at the time, since moving back to Scotland there are lots of Rory, Ruari or Ruaraidh and other variants around. But all of them male!!

In Gilmore Girls, Rory isn't the character's given name - it's a nickname for Lorelai to distinguish her from her mum, who has the same name. It's definitely a boys' name, even to Gilmore Girls fans.

Rory is fabulous - I love it!

Really not keen on Louie or Louis.

Was the name I was going to give my DC2 but DC2 was a girl. Sooo... Love the name Rory, please use it!

The racing car .......

Seriously though it's a nice name, went to school with a Rory and only know one other

Like it
