Rory for a girl

So what are peoples opinions on Rory for a girl? I really like it. We are struggling to agree on a girls name. My husband likes Ivy, Daisy, Lily and fern but think they are too cutesy and I want a strong but pretty name

I know a couple of families that each have a DD and DS with 'unisex' names, something along the lines of River (girl) and Riley (boy) and Blake (girl) and Eden (boy). It's confusing.

It’s a boys name , doesent work for a girl imo

If I heard of a child named Rory, I'd assume they were a boy.
Once I'd found out they were a girl, I'd assume that Rory was short for something else.
Once I'd found out the child was actually a girl named Rory, I'd assume the parents were Gilmore Girls fans.

I think Rory would grow up saying "I'm actually a girl" "No, it's my real name." "No, they weren't fans of the Gilmore Girls." "Yes, I'm going to change it as soon as I'm 18."

I thought about Aurora shortened to Rory. I wouldn't choose it now but I think it's fine if you like it and don't mind people assume it's after Rory in GG.

No it's a naughty boys name

I really like it and know an adult Aurora who goes by Rori. There is a Gilmore Girls association with Rory, but that's not a bad thing imo
