Rory or Ronnie?

[Bubblegum21]

Baby boy is due in 5 weeks. My partner has his heart set on Rory but yesterday I came across the name Ronnie on a baby names list, I really like it.
Which do you prefer?

Rory

Gorgeous but vetoed by my DH

Love Rory! Even though I sing ‘the racing car’ in my head every time I say it.

I prefer Ronnie, but I have heard it described on here as a “naughty boy name”

Rory! Soooooo much nicer.

Rory!

Rory I think

Rory is one of my favourite boy names. So definitely Rory.

Ronnie is nice too though.

We had Rory on our list but we ended up going for Roddy instead and love it!

Rory. Love it.

I’m def in the minority but much prefer Ronnie..

It is a family name for me though!

Rory by several geological ages.

Rory is just lovely - short, simple, but interesting (I imagine a Rory to be all outdoorsy and rufty-tufty). Easy to spell. Good on a child an an adult.

Ronnie is just naff.

Also love Roddy too though!

Ronnie

Rory

Rory, it was our boy name choice when I was pregnant with DD.

Rory is much nicer imo

I thought Rory was awful, but it seems positively sublime in comparison with the ghastly Ronnie.

I don’t like either of those names tbf. Rory is oh so common now and Ronnie reminds me of an old Scottish man! Mind you, you do see some of the old names come back.

Ronnie is my DF’s name. He’s as far from an East-End gangster as you could possibly get. I like it - it’s neither awful nor naff, so you lot can sod off!! I wouldn’t choose either name though for my own, so there you go.

I quite like both tbh, I would personally choose Rory because it goes best with my other name choices but Ronnie is sweet in it's own way too.
Also, don't listen to people saying either name is 'awful'. You'll never find a name that pleases everyone. Their names are probably 'awful' in your opinion because people have different tastes, but you keep it to yourself.
You only considered Ronnie since yesterday so keep considering it for the 5 weeks and go with what your heart says.

Rory by a long way!

Their names are probably 'awful' in your opinion because people have different tastes, but you keep it to yourself.

Not when they've asked for an opinion.

And @Orphlids really?
No need for nasty snobby comments just because someone doesn't have the same taste as you.
I'm sure you wouldn't like the same said about your baby names.

Rory for definite over Ronnie.

But if you're not sure about Rory then have a look at some other ideas.

Rory, by a long way. I considered it for DS but had to rule it out because I have a slight speech impediment and find 'r's a bit hard (unfortunately there's one in my name!)
