What would Rory get shortened to

[Flymeaway4]

I often hear that every name ends up being shortened, especially once they start school. So what would Rory get shortened to?! Roar?! I’d hate that! Anyone know a Rory and does it get shortened? If so, to what?

The little one we know gets Rors too.

The Rory I know is Roz to friends.

I have a Rory, he's known as Rory mostly at school. I call him Roar or Roarz a lot of the time.

My Son is James Rory
My Grandson is Rory-James double barrelled, we call him RJ 😊

Oh and hes the only Rory in the whole school. Unlike my eldest of which there are 6 of his name in the school and they are known as first name + last name initial 🤣

Hadn't considered that, thank you @pinklavenders

I have a friend called Rory but he is Roz to us

I know a Rory who gets Ro or Roro, and a Ruairí who gets Ru (Roo? Rue?) Completely informal, though - neither would ever introduce himself that way.

I’d say roar or ro ro. Or even lion or something?

we have a Brody bear and a Zacky roo. I’d have a Rory lion 🦁

Roar
Roro
Roo
Rooey

TBH, these are guesses and I think it's less open to shortening than most, although if people want to, they will. Great name.

@Flymeaway4 did you have a Rory?

not all names get shortened. It’s alright pretty short so might not.

I know a Rory that gets shortened to Ror. I think it's quite common so if you hate it, maybe not the best name to go for.

Our Rory is Roars and then Rory boy.

Second one defeats the purpose 🤣🤣

Ror or Rors is the only way we shorten our Rory's name.

Perhaps I went to a boring school but most people were just known as their full name even when there’s well known ways to shorten names.

My name has never been shortened. Of almost everyone I know a Christopher is the only one who has (to Chris, obviously). I know an Alexander who is always that. If you and your family never shorten it, no one else will or he'll correct them, as Alexander does (he's 8!).

Just reminds me of Haven Holidays and the Tiger Club, but it’d probably be shorted to Roy.

We had a baby girl, so no Rory dilemma in the end!

@Flymeaway4 Congratulations! I didn’t realise it was an old thread
