I like Rory. My personal impression in the US is that it's more often used as boy's name, but sometimes used for girls. I've seen it used on a boy here. My only issue with Rory is that it sounds a bit young or nickname-y as a full name. I'm not sure what it should be short for though. Rordan's not bad.

I really like the name Rory for a boy.

I'm in the UK and I do know of a Ruaridh (friend of my brother) but I'll be honest I do struggle with remembering how to spell his name. However, I very rarely need to. I would probably learn the spelling if I needed to remember!

Rory, Finn and Edward definitely go together in my opinion as do Rory, Finlay and Edward/Teddy. I like both Finn and Rory. Don't mind Edward but am less keen on Teddy personally.

It's nice. I like Rory and Finlay together. I wouldn't use Edward. I'd use another Irish name. I only like Rory as a boys name. I'm in Australia

I used to like it, but now it has come to sound awkward to me.

---

Not a girls name, to me, but I've seen it used (spelled Rorie and prob. short for Aurora).

It's kinda like Gary... cute/handsome until about 40, then it seems a bit weak. Same deal with Finn and Ted/Teddy so yeah, I guess they do go together well (not my style though).

I do like Rory for a boy; it's a simple, handsome, established name. I live in Australia and see it as unisex. I like Rory, Finn and Teddy as brothers!

I like Finn, Rory and Edward (Teddy) best. I'm in the USA and would never use Rory, just because it's uncommon here, but it's ok.

I'm Canadian and I like Rory for a boy almost exclusively. Rory has a warm 80's little sitcom-brother vibe to it.

Rory, Finlay and Edward go together pretty well. Rory, Finn and Teddy are really cute together.

It’s ok. I used to dislike it but it’s growing on me. My son goes to nursery (in England) with children with all kinds of unusual names, including a Dubhghall, so I think Ruairi, Ruaridh etc would be fine here.

I prefer Rory, Finn and Edward. I think Ted would go better than Teddy as a nn though.

I like Rory, but only for a boy!

---

I had a colleague once, here in South Africa, though we were both working for a British concern: he was Scottish and named Ruairi, without any additions. Everyone coped perfectly: I rather regretted the absence of accents and 'dh's, but it was close enough.

Rory and Edward (Teddy) seem fine together; I don't think that Finn fits in, but then I dislike Finn so that's probably why. Though my friends, whose ln is Fynn, have a grandson (they had two daughters) named Fynn, and I like that. Finlay ... lnfns are extremely American in my experience, and I'm not fond of them at all, except for family reasons and then only as a mn.

I like it a lot, it's fun in a warm, autumnal way. Rory, Finn, and Edward "Teddy" works IMO, Rory, Finlay, and Edward "Teddy" doesn't.

Yes, I do like Rory for a boy! I am in the US and I do not see it as a girl's name per se. I might use it on a girl as a nickname only. I'd definitely use it as a stand alone for a boy. I like it as part of your sib set.
