Rory?

What do people think of this? I have always loved the name but as always find myself playing devil's advocate when a decision is required...!

My criteria are in no particular order:

Scottish
Doesn't end in "S" or "sh"
Doesn't sound like a surname
Not too popular (I live abroad so Rory not common here)

But, Jane, Rory is not a girl's name. The one from the tv show is a shortening of something else.

I am Irish. I have a Ruairí. I love it.

I love it, it was on my list for my second DD.

Aurora nickname Rory for a girl x

@PlantPotting yes I have had my eye on it for a while, it was not even allowed on the shortlist last time though so don't want to miss my last chance!!

@midsomermurdress I love Ewan too but can't use it unfortunately. I do really like Angus too, also of that ilk.

I can't bear it. The awful 'roar' sound puts me right off.

Mlou32 · 05/04/2020 14:29

I like it but I prefer the Ruaridh spelling.
