| I’ve heard it most often as a boy’s name. I find it kind of sissy-sounding, TBH, like Julian or Francis. |

| It competes for my least favorite name ever. I just think the sound and the spelling are completely unattractive. I'm usually a "don't care what ppl choose" person on the name front, but there's something about Rory that makes me cringe. |

I know a female Rory and people assume 100% of the time on hearing her name that she's male, so I think male Rory is fine.
But I agree with other posters that it can be a pronunciation nightmare. I had great difficulty making my R-full name understood when I was little and still struggle to get my Rs out in some phonetic contexts. |

Rory. Very Irish. I lived abroad with a huge number of Irish students and there were at least 5-6 Rory's in the group.
I personally really like the name. Don't think it's difficult at all - particularly for Americans. |

I was thinking James or Finn actually! |

James is everybody's middle name lately, but it really works. |

| And if ROry has a younger sibling -- or even friends under the age of 5 himself- the little kid accent would be either adordable or... indistinguishable from Worry, wewe, etc. |
