| I always think of Rory as a girls name (prob bc I was raised on gilmore girls) but it seems just as popular as a boys' name. Thoughts? |

| It is an Irish boys' name derived from the Irish word for Red King, Ruaidhrí, so male origin, but has become gender neutral over time. |

| Yes, more traditionally a boy's name. Can be either. |

It's an Irish boys name.
I don't love it as a collection of letters. Regardless of naming a boy or a girl - I feel like I'm having a stroke when I say it. |

| It's cute and yes, a boy's name -- but agree with the PP on pronunciation. It's the "Rural Juror" of names. And I say that as someone who had a childhood lisp and named my kid an "S" name. |

| What about using Roric as the first name and calling him Rory as a nickname? |

Just pick a name that everybody can pronounce without a speech therapist.

I think it has transitioned to a solid girls name just like Lauren and Kelly. I would not name a boy Rory. |
