I really like this name, specially with the nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u] but I’m slightly worried about the As- beginning for obvious reasons. What do you think? Is it usable or too weird?
What other names can get the nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u]? I don’t like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] because with my accent it sounds weird.
I really like [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]!! [name_f]My[/name_f] fave nn for it is [name_u]Story[/name_u]. I think the as- part is fine. It’s very similar to one of my favorites [name_f]Astara[/name_f].
Personally I wouldn’t be able to shake the associations with Queens, NY. If you are looking for [name_u]Rory[/name_u] you could just go with it on its own! Other options are [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] or [name_f]Majorie[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is nice!
