[quote=Anonymous]Rory is an Irish boy's name. It wasn't used for females until the late 1960s. When Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, his wife Ethel was pregnant. Robert and Ethel had agreed on the name of the child if it were male: Rory. They hadn't yet agreed on the name of the child if it was a girl. When Ethel gave birth to a daughter after her husband's death, she decided to name her Rory, despite the fact it was a girl. Suddenly, Rory became a popular girl's name in the US. Before 1968, nobody would have named a girl Rory. [/quote]
