Reggie or Rory

[mrssunshinexxx]

Please tell me your preference x

Rory is lovely.

Reggie is one of the most unattractive names around.

I'd pick Reggie of the two. I like Rory too.

Rory, as long as your surname isn't Lyons.

I have a friend who says her Rs as Vs, so I'd pick neither.

Rory is much nicer. A really lovely classic name.

I hadn’t thought of the Kray connection with Reggie but I don’t like the shortened versions of ‘old man’ names, as stand alone names. They always make me think they are ‘naughty boy’ names . Which I know is probably unfair and untrue but unfortunately my experience in the limited pool I know of.

I agree the Kray brother connection won’t be relevant to his generation. Barely even ours.

I know 2 Reggie’s and it’s quite a popular name. I don’t think the kray twins association will be relevant with their generation

Rory Lyons

Rory without a doubt

What if your ds has a speech impediment and struggles with his Rs?! It's a difficult name to pronounce for many.

Reggie is hideous! Such a horrible sounding name and then add the Kray connection - no way. Rory is gorgeous.

Rory

Thanks @Batmanandrobin123 x

I assume you’re talking about for a boy? Although I always associate Rory as a girls name! I think reggie is sweet but I like the older names!

I think Reggie is used too much, I know 2 who were born in the last 6 month and one on the way.
I absolutely love Rory though.

Love Rory x

No worries @mrssunshinexxx
I have posted a few times about names for our upcoming arrival. We've now chosen a name and I'm not going to post about it in case mumsnet puts me off (it's not a very mumsnetty name) opinions are helpful when you are undecided but if you know which one you like best, don't be put off, it's your baby! Good luck!

@Batmanandrobin123 thank you x

My daughter has a Reggie in her class and he's so sweet and the name suits him so well.
Rory is horrible.

Can you let us know what you ultimately register him as @mrssunshinexxx 🥰

I much prefer Rory but no major issues with Reggie really

I love Rory. I can't picture a Reggie under 70.

I will certainly try to come back I'm not sure if baby is boy or girl yet but we 💯 set on girls name. If I go with Reggie he would be registered just that x

@Whatsyourflava I will certainly try to come back I'm not sure if baby is boy or girl yet but we 💯 set on girls name. If I go with Reggie he would be registered just that x

Rory is one I wanted to use. DH said no.
I think it's great.
