Rory?

Opinions on Rory?
Do you prefer it for a boy or a girl?

Like it but only for a boy

Nice for a boy. Definitely not for a girl!

Like it only for a boy.

The only female Rory I've heard of is Rory Gilmore, from the Gilmore girls.

And Rory in the Gilmore girls was a nickname. Her real name was Lorelai like her mother. I think it’s suited to boys mroe

It's good for a boy but I like it as a nn for Aurora too.

It’s my favourite boys name ever but is also BILs name so we probably couldn’t use it

Really don’t like it on a girl but I’m not a fan of calling girls by traditionally male names.

Great BOY'S name

Would you call a boy Jemima? No? Then don't call a girl Rory.

Lovely boys name. Not overly keen for a girl. Is it one of those crossover names like Jamie?

Can't stand it being used as a girls' name. It means 'red king'.

Love it, it’s a boy’s name.

It’s a boys’ name of Scottish descent, I believe. Nice name for a boy, particularly if there’s Scottish connection.

There’s no actual reason why you couldn’t use it for a girl, I suppose.

Great for a boy, not so great for a girl.

Like it for a boy. Definitely not for a girl.

Lovely boys name

Not a girls name all. Fine as a nickname for Aurora or Lorelai. But not Rory on its own

All of our daughters were going to be called Rory if they were boys!
We only had girls....pondering it for a boy dogs name now!

Love it for a boy.

I love it.

It is a good, strong male name. It is not a girls' name.

I taught a little girl called Rory. She was bright, articulate and completely suited her name. I did think it was unusual at first to be fair but after a couple of hours she was just Rory. Actually prefer it as a girls name now.

Well it's not generally a girls name as far as I'm aware, but is lovely

Boy only but prefer Hamish or Fraser.

I know a girl Rory, short for Aurora.

The problem with the name is the amount of Rs way for people who can't pronounce them very well. Can sound like Wowy!

I love it for a boy but don't think it should be used as a girl's name. There are enough of those already.

I was ony boys list. I love it
