Reggie or Rory

[mrssunshinexxx]

Please tell me your preference x

Rory, it's a lovely name 😊

Rory, Reggie is hideous.

Rory, Reggie is awful.

Definitely Rory.

Rory is far nicer.

Reggie is great for a dog

Rory

100% Rory.

Reggie reminds me of the Krays or a character from Eastenders.

I know a Rory and he is a lovely young man, very accomplished and well liked. It's a great name.

Veryyyy interesting thanks ladies

Don't like Rory personally but it's a fine name.

Reggie is awful. I hate half hames. Reginald would be fine.

Rory has 2 Rs. Some people struggle with their pronunciation and Rory would be very difficult to say.

I dislike Reggie, it's tacky imo

Neither but Rory at a push

Rory

Rory.

Reggie reminds me of the music. It's also too close to Raggie and an easy nickname for kids to pick up on.

Rory. Again the Krays connection would be too strong for me.

Reggie is awful, sorry. Any name with a double G in it (Maggie etc.) just looks so ugly and oafish.

Rory is a great name.

Has it helped you decide @mrssunshinexxx ?

Rory definitely.

Rory: I think of a slightly rugged outdoorsy type with rumpled hair.

Reggie: I think of the Kray twins.

Also - Reggie is popular right now and I think it will date far more. It's one of the 'old man name given the diminutive to make it sound cooler' type names. See also: Stanley (Stan) Wilfred (Wilf), Ronnie, Frankie, Freddie etc.

Rory (or Ruari).

I cannot imagine a child called Reginald, sorry to all Reggies out there but makes me think of Bosenquet and Reggie Kray. Also had a cousin who married a Reg and he was old and bald before his time.

I met a toddler Reg the other day, just no 😬

Seems like you prefer Reggie an are hoping people agree!

I think Reggie is fairly awful I'm afraid - firstly its a nickname for Reginald and not a name in its own right to my mind. I don't like boys names that end in ie because they are so twee and a man may want a more solid longer name as an option. And lastly Reggie is a trendy name at the moment and will date badly.

Rory is more classic.

@whatsyourflavour .. helped a little but don't think will fully commit until I meet baby but I appreciate everyone's comments

@diddlediddle maybe you are right 😏 but it has swayed me a little towards Rory .. only time will tell when I see the little face

If you prefer Reggie choose Reggie. Mumsnet always veers towards the more classic names and isn't a fan of nicknamed 'ie' names, but Reggie is a perfectly acceptance name and the Kray thing won't be relevant to his generation.
I have a Rory so prefer that but Reggie is nice too.
