Long version of Rory?

[CloudyVanilla]

Can I please have some suggestions of boys names that could be shortened to Rory?

I'm having trouble thinking of literally any!

That's because it's a name and not short for anything! There are various ways to spell it though.

Yes sorry I was just googling and realised it's not really short for anything!

That has reassured me that I can just use it if we like it, thank you

I was at school with a Rory whose full name was Roderick.

Roddy or Rod would be the more common shortening for Roderick.

Rory is just Rory.

Ruaidhrígh

Ruari

But these are just longer ways of spelling essentially the same name.

OP was looking for something like Rorystonleigh or Fredrorylike which could be shortened to Rory.

Thanks for your suggestions :)

Unfortunately I am not a fan of Roderick at ALL but I've been comforted in the fact that Rory is a name in and of itself :D

It's not my top choice anyway but it is growing on me :)

I have a Rory and still love the name 10 years on!

Can just think of Rory in gilmore girls. So Lorelei... Or Victoria at a push, sorry they are both girls names. As suggested though, Rory is lovely for Roderick and I might steel that if we ever have another boy

Theodore or Jethro could be shortened to Rory. It's not conventional but it's doable and would make phonetic sense.

Rrroooooorrrrryyyyyy?

Ruairidh. There are lots of spelling options

Rorystonleigh 😁 Rory is a fab name OP

I give you Roderick Alleyn - Rory to his nearest and dearest.

Rory Stewart is a Roderick.

I know a Gregory who is known as Rory..

Roarrrry

Roranicus

Roderick always

I love Rory

I used to know a Roderick who went by Rory.

Rory is fine just as it is.

Does this remind anyone of the Hugh thread?
