s/o name post, Gilmore girls...

[zarapipe]

Loreli and rory... those were named as favorites for tv shows on the thread from yesterday.

Loreli isn't our style but we do like rory. It was on our list until my dad said that it's a boy name in Ireland. Dh said today that he still likes it. It's a miracle, another one that he likes.

Wdyt?

I like it. I do think it's traditionally a boy name but I would use it for a girl.

[dcn]

I know a 4 yo girl named Rory. Love it.

[hermione]

I think it's unisex. I think most people associate it with Rory Kennedy who is female.

[jr009j]

I love the name Rory for either sex.

[Ashley&Scott]

I like Rory & would use it for a girl. I can't remember what other names were your DH's very short list.

[rugbywife]

I think it is unisex. I don't mind it all, I think it is pretty for a girl.

[sh10]

I know a baby boy Rory. I prefer it for a girl.

His favs are hailey, ava and maura. He did let me move over a few of mine that he approved, Eva, Paige and callie.

Eta.. and piper. Still working on my fav to pull out after birth in his emotional state.

I think it's adorable for a girl.

[turtlegirl]

I think it's a great name for either gender.

I really really want to do Lorelai/Rory is hypothetical baby 3 is a girl. But DH is against it.

Love

Love it!

I've heard Rory used as a girls' name, both as a nickname for "Aurora" and also just on its own.

TBH it's not my most favorite. It's not bad, it's actually quite decent, just NMS at all.
Take that FWIW though. My name style is about as basic as it comes.

I can see where it works for you though and I'd by no means side eye it.

I also think it's unisex. I know nothing about the Gilmore Girls so I wouldn't let that worry you.

I have a cousin (girl) named Rory. I think it's fine for a girl's name. I just think it doesn't flow off the tongue very well with my accent.

[smile]

I love the name Rory. We would have used it for our DD if we didn't have a close friend(male) named Rory. I think the name is unisex. I will agree with the previous poster in that it doesn't roll off the tongue easily for everyone.

Rory is a great name!

[waterchurch]

I think Rory Piper is just adorable.

[livinitup]

I love it for a girl. 

And It was Pierce Brosnan in this Irish in America themed mini series:

I love the name Rory, but I would probably only use it for a guy, mostly because I wouldn't want people knowing I named my kid after a TV character.

Ditto!

[carolinagirl831]

I know several girls names Rory, I think it's cute!
It is traditionally a boys name though

[vanillacourage]

In the series Rory is a nickname for Lorelai (both mom and daughter have the same name).

I don't love Rory as a straight first name only because it's so specific, no room for nicknames if the kiddo wants one. JMO.

[nonsenseabound]

My daughter is Lorelei. We call her Lolo for short.

Rory is unisex but I think it is more popular for girls in USA

[kershnic]

Very cute name, but I definitely associate it with Rory Gilmore. Never heard of any of these other Rorys (or is that Rories??).

[MadamePresident]

I have a friend who named their daughter Victoria and call her Rory. I think thanks to Gilmore Girls it is an acceptable girl name here.

This. I love the name, and love it for a girl, but I can never use it because I adore Gilmore Girls and everyone would know if I used Lorelai or Rory. 

And Rory Piper is adorable. 

[fortmyersbride]

I really like Lorelei. Rory I would be on board with as a NN for Aurora.

[meij]

Rory Piper is cute!

I have a friend with a boy Rory. She has a couple family members that just can not say the name correctly! It does trip you up a bit sometimes.
