Rory for parents of little boys.
I know how cute a "boyish" nn can be on a little girl. Personally, I've always liked the idea of a pretty little
Georgie (for
Georgina). But that's because everyone knows that
George is a boy's name.
But with
Rory, I fear that since it hasn't been popular for very long*, people don't really know it's a traditional boy's name. I don't know if I'm making much sense. It's just that I'm Irish and protective of Irish names.
Rory has always been a favorite boy's name for me.
