I like!

pontipinemum · 12/12/2023 12:32

I like both of those.

mrboombasticwhy · 12/12/2023 12:48

I like

Julesni77 · 12/12/2023 12:51

Brilliant and not too matchy

NotFastButFurious · 12/12/2023 13:10

I really like both!

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 12/12/2023 13:23

Like both and they sound good together.

purpledahlias · 12/12/2023 13:37

Rory is really difficult for some people with difficulties pronouncing their Rs to say..! It becomes Wowy Blush

MerryChristmasToYou · 12/12/2023 13:43

Wowy or Vovy. It's a lovely name but not if you can't say R. Lots of people can't.
Toby has a similar sound without the Rs

Theoldwoman · 12/12/2023 13:50

Love Luke, not a fan of Rory but they go well together.

resm · 12/12/2023 14:19

I love both of these name and think they go really well together (not that they have to obv).

booktokbear · 12/12/2023 14:21

Love them.

Don't think there's going to be tons of people not going to be able to say their R's op!

SomeoneYouLoved · 12/12/2023 14:21

Good choice.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 12/12/2023 14:22

Just perfect

purpledahlias · 12/12/2023 14:39

You'd be surprised! And just imagine if your son called Rory struggles with his R...Shock

TrustPenguins · 12/12/2023 14:44

Nice, particularly Luke 👌

PoppyCup · 12/12/2023 14:45

I like those a lot. They work together without appearing too connected. Lovely choices.

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 12/12/2023 15:07

They work well together😊

Mischance · 12/12/2023 15:11

Sounds great - all you have to do now is tell them apart! Smile

SwishSwashSwooshSwersh · 12/12/2023 15:13

Rory and Eric are lovely!

Dislike Luke.

Doublebiscuit77 · 12/12/2023 15:14

An excellent choice for a pair of twins!

SwishSwashSwooshSwersh · 12/12/2023 15:17

I prefer Rory with other one syllable names like Max, Huw, Kit, Rafe,

MerryChristmasToYou · 12/12/2023 15:29

@booktokbear , many people can't. It's not that noticeable in some names but glaringly obvious in a name like Rory

Mummyme87 · 12/12/2023 15:31

They’re okay names, don’t love either but not offensive and if you like them that’s what matters

purpledahlias · 12/12/2023 15:47

Exactly this. I wouldn't risk it.

mathanxiety · 12/12/2023 16:51

Lovely names, and they go well together.
