Usually when I think of Rory on a girl I think it is a nn for Aurora or Lorelei (like Gilmore Girls). I suppose it can work for Victoria too which is great news for me because I love Victoria and hate Vicky/Vicki. Tori is okay but Rory is a name I like on girls and boys.

I love Rory as a nickname for Victoria! If I did want to use Rory, Victoria is the full name I would pick.

I like Rory as a female nickname. I don't like it as a full name though. I like it as a full name for a boy so I don't know why I think it too nicknamey for a girl. I think it is cute & spunky on a girl.

Seems fine as a girl's name. I've only met one female Rory, who was my math teacher in college.

Victoria nn Rory is a good idea. I've never thought of it. While I much prefer Rory on a boy and think it's very masculine, I kind of like it as a nickname for a girl if she were more tomboyish. I can picture a girl named Victoria not liking that she has such a frilly name!

I'm just noticing that you've posted a number of new threads today. The board guidelines ask posters to stick to a max of 5 new threads per day. http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/help I know you've only started 4 so far today, but I just thought I'd suggest that maybe you combine some of your thoughts into fewer threads so that other older threads don't get bumped down as quickly. For example, you could easily have asked about January and September in one post.

Just sayin...

I don't like it as a boy's name. It seems wimpy to me.
And as a girl's name, it feels so insubstantial. It seems like it would need to be a nickname for something. But I like Tori better for Victoria. And I don't like the name Aurora at all. So I'm stumped.

I love Rory as a nickname for Aurora, and Aurora only
