what does everyone think about the name Rory?? dh wants it for ds3 but im not sold...

[MissCaitlin]

and the stubborn old bugger doesnt like any of my names either

other than Rory, he like Joachim, which i like in print but, and he wants it pronounced the German way as its after someone he knows/admires im not so sure i like the way it sounds (pron YOKUM btw)

need some advice as he's due to be born in 6 weeks and we cant decide!!

love rory - dh and I couldn't agree at all on boys names and one evening, out for dinner I persuaded him into rory and he woke in the morning and agreed it was a great name so we were sorted. Later that day we met our neihghbour for the first time and she had a 7 week old baby called..... Rory and one of my criteria was that I didn't want to know anyone with the name we chose !! Anyway, luckily she was a girl and hopefully we'll have moved by the time we have another !!

Not keen on Rory... As with any other names ending in ie and y, I think is cute for a boy buyt for an adult? no thanks.

love rory, although in the irish spelling it pronounced a little differently, more "u" than "o". I've seen it spelt as Ruaridh, Ruari or Ruary

besides... the only Rory I have ever met was an alcoholic.

no like rory but I like the ruarie pronunciation (whatever scottish/irish way you spell it!)

also love fergus, cameron, ewan/euan, robbie, logie, callum, colm...lovely names!

there is Rory Bremnar.. and the bloke on the news called Rory. So its not all bad!!

How about Aiden, Sean, Daniel, Matthew or Orin? Just to throw a spanner in!

I've always liked Nathan or Nathaniel, but was marred for me by a kid I went to school with.. would have always thought of him. (

I like Rory.

like rory but am anxiosu he may have a speech problem adn thus clal him self wowy

JUST imagine the mispronouncments fro joachim

Ruaridh

thast just asking fro trouble

Not keen on Rory. Sounds fat and bluff to me, for some reason. If I had to choose a Scottish boys name I'd have Hamish because there was an extremely lovely kid I did music with called Hamish. Total sweetie.

Lol ? thanks Chandra, will bear the alkie connection in mind .
I like Logie ? never heard that one? a bit like bogie, but nice nonetheless, and I don?t mind names being a bit different.

When I grew up, there wasn?t another Caitlin in (my) universe and hardly anybody EVER got it right ? if they heard it first they could never spell it, and if they read it first they would insist on calling me CAT-lin. I actually quite enjoyed having a name that was a bit different and it has always (rightly or wrongly) been kind of a filter of personalities for me; if someone got it right, I was always really impressed and I was used to people never getting it right? mind you, people who persisted in calling me cat-lin were just plain annoying.

So oddly spelt names don?t freak me?

And I liked Hamish too, but dh says it?s a (and I forget the word he used, something Scottish) unsophisticated country boy name and everyone at his school called Hamish caught loads of flak for it?

oh who knows?? what does he need a name for anyway? we can just call him no. 3 and be done with it

Hideous (even worse if he bcomes a Tory...)

could be the best thing that happens to him

at moondog

don't like it either, sorry - but have no better suggestions so don't listen to me!

Er... think my mother would hound him to the grave (and from the grave too)if he became a tory so not much danger of that

Quite like Rory.

Also like Fergus and Angus??

well I like (for what thats worth, and you'd think that would be something considering the fact that i'm carrying him and dealing with the delightful SPD coz of him, not to mention giving birth to him)

Leo
Louis
Ronnie
Fred
among others which i actually cant think of right now, so im obviously not that attached to them am i??

i like Angus too, but i already gave that one to ds2 as a second name. i cant very well nick it back off him now can i? or call ds3 the same name? thats a real question btw; what do you think about just using it anyway, even tho its Max's middle name?

anyway; not keen on Fergus. think it may be coz of past associations with a dodgy time-share seller...

Fred is a good name.

I agree majorly, but it is met with almost universal distaste by everyone i mention it to. Why?? Fred is a fantastic name. tradtional, but still a bit unusual as its not too fashionable at the mo...

love rory,nearly named ds that but dh preferred charlie,just incase of speech impediment like johnathon woss

i have a rory

ive got a ruarie, ryan and ewan

I like Robert. Unfashionable and therefore cool. Or Andrew.

Fred is VERY fashionable.
