Rory

Boy or girl?

girl

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Boy. It sounds completely ridiculous on a girl! Where has this come from anyway? I never heard it until recently. Is there some female celebrity or something named Rory?

[dancing-crazy.livejournal.com]

There's a show with female lead named Rory. Or the character is named Rory. I'm not sure. It's called Gilmore Girls.

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, that would explain it I guess, thanks. I assume Rory is short for something? I suppose it could work on a girl if it was a nickname... It still sounds weird though.

[comicstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's "short for" Lorelai although obviously there's been some creative shortening there.

[zante.livejournal.com]

I thought the mothers name was Lorelai??

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

The mother figured, Hey, fathers name their sons after themselves, why can't women?

[comicstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah she named her daughter Lorelai through a heady mix of drugs and feminism.

boy.. unless it is a nickname..

[dancing-crazy.livejournal.com]

Boy. It's nice for girls as a nickname for Aurora, and it's one of the few boy names I don't mind so much on girl. It doesn't make me cringe like Mackenzie does.

[comicstar.livejournal.com]

As insane a Gilmore Girls fan as I am, I prefer it as a boy's name.

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

same.

[recycledvinyl.livejournal.com]

Boy.

[x-cherrydarling.livejournal.com]

Either or. But I think it sounds more masculine than feminine.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

First thought: girl. But then again, I know a boy called Rory as well, so I'd say either =)

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I've only know girls named Rory. I dislike it for both boys (it seems like a girl's name) and girls (too harsh).

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Definatly a boys name...
I could never envision it as a girls name, as all the boys I know with it are very boyboy! [If you know where I'm going with that!]

[iceni.livejournal.com]

Boy

[zante.livejournal.com]

MALE!!

[ninarules.livejournal.com]

i like it for girls...im partial to rorin for a boy.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I guess I can see the appeal of Rorin but it reminded me of "roaring" when i first heard it

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

BOY. Damn you, Gilmore Girls! Damn you!

Seriously, my sister's best friend's father is named Rory. He is very obviously a man. To me, Rory is a man's name, end of story.

[calixbat.livejournal.com]

The people I know who used the name don't even know what Gilmore Girls is so its not just the show.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

both

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Definitely girl's.
I don't know, the show has influence me too much.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

has influenced*

[calixbat.livejournal.com]

Girl. 7 months ago it would have been boy but then firends had a baby named Rory, she is a girl.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Thats not true, actually. Rory has been a girl's name since before GG.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're probably right haha. I was just ready to jump on someone for saying that the show created it as a girls name, which I know isn't true. Sorry for being aggressive, or whatever haha.
