Rory

[bubbblegum]

What do you think about Rory? Looking for a name that is not overused but not unheard of

Boy or gitrl?

Love it for a boy

Boy, obviously. I like Rory - good old traditional Scottish name.

I like it but prefer it for a boy. Hadn't heard of it as a girls name before The Gilmore Girls but not hugely keen.

Yes for a boy

DH parents are Scottish so I bet they will love it when we mention it.

Robert kennedy's last child was a girl, rory.

I think it's lovely. It's pretty common in Scotland, although your spelling isn't typically the one used.

I have a Rory - he's 5 and the only one in his year. There are 3 in his school but it is catholic so I think it's slightly skewed (and one of them is spelt differently)

He loves his name - go for it!

Lovely name!

I like it. One of my best friends is called Rory. However, every time I mention him my Dad, who is in his 60's shouts 'Roaaarrry Tiger' and then laughs to himself.
We generally ignore him now.

Gorgeous name.

I find it a bit of a mouthful to say. Probably just me.

I always struggle to pronounce it. Anyone with a bit of an issue with their 'R's finds it quite hard to say (obviously). One of those ones where I have to pause what I'm saying to say it.

I absolutely love it, but only for a boy.

How is a two syllable name a mouthful?

Love it, would have used it if friends of ours hadn't beat us to it!!

I know a soon to be 2 year old Rory. He suits it perfectly. Fab name!

I have a 5 year old Rory too. It's a lovely name.

Because both syllables start with an R! It's a killer! (In a way that, say, Robert isnt).

It's hard to explain I just struggle to say it! I don't struggle with Rs usually but something about that name, it comes out sounding like Rowry.

I know a Rory and he's lovely

Glad it's not just me

I love it. Only know one, who's 4 so not overused.
I do sing roary the racing car everything someone says his name though

If DD2 had been a boy she be Rory now, please use it ... It's a fab name

Love it but prefer the Irish spelling, Ruairí
