Rory

I like Rory as a nickname for names starting with Ro- or names with a "ro" or "or" sound in them like Roderick, Romuald and Ronald for boys and Rosemary, Rosamond and Marjorie for girls.

This could be a nice nickname for the name “Aurora”.

Also sometimes used as a feminine name in modern times.

GOD FORBID a girl has a masculine name, otherwise men can't use it anymore! This is the twenty first century people, Rory is unisex. Whether it's shortened from something or not, it doesn't make it any less of a 'Boy' name because it's 'Going to the girls'. Hell, Stacy is still considered masculine.

My name is Aurora and I go by Rory in school and by family and friends and even introduce myself as Rory, hardly anyone calls me Aurora. I find the name Aurora to be bold and formal. Rory is more of a laid back and simple cute name in my opinion. I honestly like it better as a girl name.

I come from Scotland and I've never heard of girls called Rory. Lots of boys I know are called Rory and I really like it as a guys name.
