Rory as a nn

Boy Names
1

I really like the name [name]Rory[/name] for both a boy or a girl. For girls, I’ve seen [name]Rory[/name] being discussed as being short for [name]Aurora[/name] or [name]Lorelei[/name], but I can’t think of any good boy names that you could get [name]Rory[/name] from. I think [name]Rory[/name] works fine as a stand alone name, but I really like the idea of using it as a nickname. Any ideas on boy names that could have [name]Rory[/name] as a nn?

[name]Conroy[/name]
[name]Rourke[/name]
[name]Royston[/name]
Gilderoy (as in Lockhart )
[name]Riordan[/name]
Rorimac
[name]Rutherford[/name]
[name]Radford[/name]
[name]Rexford[/name]
[name]Forrest[/name]
[name]Gregor[/name] / [name]MacGregor[/name]
[name]Morrison[/name]
[name]Orion[/name]
[name]Orlando[/name] / [name]Roland[/name]

I think the most natural, and the coolest, is [name]Riordan[/name]. It’s an old Irish name meaning a royal poet.

I think [name]Rory[/name] works as a stand alone for boys. I can see it working as an option for [name]Robert[/name] or [name]Gregory[/name] in addition to the names blade posted above.
