Rory?

What do you think of the name Rory? It's my DH's front runner if we have a boy but I'm not sold. All I can think is Rory Mcilroy and I'm not a golf fan...

Love it (biased, with a Rory Wink)

Love it

I love the name Rory! Makes me think of Doctor Who and Rory was a brilliant character Grin

BalloonDinosaur · 14/04/2018 19:48

Love it. DS would've been Rory but DP vetoed it Sad

I’m not keen but I think I’ll be in the minority. It seems popular on here.

stitchglitched · 14/04/2018 19:48

Love it.

I love Rory. It was one of our favourite names but a relative used it first. Smile

Kirta · 14/04/2018 19:48

I actually like it for a girl! Was thinking of shortening Aurora to Rory. I'm not sure about it for a boy.

AnyaMoondial · 14/04/2018 19:49

I really like it.

Ps4hell · 14/04/2018 19:50

I have a girl names Rorie (Aurora)
I love her name :)

LoveInTokyo · 14/04/2018 19:53

I like it.

Yogagirl123 · 14/04/2018 19:54

I love Rory, very nice name.

Silentelf · 14/04/2018 19:55

Lovely name. My son in reception has two lovely little friends called Rory

Squashpocket · 14/04/2018 20:05

Hmm, thanks everyone. I'm trying to come round to it because DH loves it and I've totally failed to come up with a shortlist of my own.

What you think matters too though. What names do you like?

Padfoot100 · 14/04/2018 20:11

I love it!

Scottishgirl85 · 14/04/2018 20:12

Really like it, surprisingly underused given how nice it is

Squashpocket · 14/04/2018 20:17

I would tend to go for traditional names e.g. Edward, Alexander, Benjamin, but I'm struggling to find a boys name where I like both the long and common short versions. For example, like Christopher, don't like Chris.

TBH I'm being quite hard work about the whole thing, so as my DH has strong feelings about Rory I'm trying to make the effort to at least consider it fully.

Also prefer it for a girl as a nickname for Aurora.
