I have a little cousin named [name_u]Reggie[/name_u] and I like the name. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] because I have liked it ever since [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] girls character [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and because it has a cool sound.

are my favorites too. I think [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] is a charming word. And [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is my step-son’s name.

[name_m]Rodney[/name_m], unfortunately that sounds too much like kidneys to me.

And [name_m]Riordan[/name_m] is a great name, but would be mispronounced every time.

And [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]… well, he sounds like an arrogant and pasty-faced banker to me! :slight_smile:

Voted [name_m]Rufus[/name_m]/[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - for [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] - and [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] because it sounds dapper and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is just so lovely.

I love [name_u]Robin[/name_u] & [name_m]Raymond[/name_m]. [name_m]Robert[/name_m] is nice too and I like vintage sweet [name_u]Bobby[/name_u]. [name_m]Rob[/name_m]/[name_u]Robby[/name_u] aren’t for me though. [name_u]Bert[/name_u] is great if you can shake the [name_f]Sesame[/name_f] [name_m]Street[/name_m] association.

[name_m]Riordan[/name_m] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] are my favorite from the list. Others not on the list- [name_m]Rigby[/name_m], [name_u]Roan[/name_u]/[name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]Reid[/name_u], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Rohan[/name_u].

I love [name_m]Riordan[/name_m] and [name_m]Reginald[/name_m]! I like [name_m]Roger[/name_m] too but mostly because of [name_m]Roger[/name_m] Federer.

I love [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]. It’s fiery and dashing and very underused. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] has the same qualities as [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], although [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] is creative and artistic whereas [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is adventurous and outdoorsy. [name_u]Ray[/name_u] and [name_u]Reggie[/name_u] are both jazzy and retro cool. The others fall somewhat flat with me.

I also like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Reeve[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], and [name_u]Riley[/name_u].

I love [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_u]Ray[/name_u], and [name_u]Rory[/name_u].

My favorite is [name_u]Ray[/name_u].

I love [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for boys! Not for girls.

I can’t believe [name_m]Roger[/name_m] is not a universally desirable name because of [name_m]Roger[/name_m] Federer! :slight_smile:

I like [name_m]Roger[/name_m], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u].
[name_m]Roger[/name_m] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] mostly the images they bring because of their bearers that I’ve known.
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for the images their sounds evoke.
The others don’t really do anything to me.

I voted for:
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m]/[name_m]Rafael[/name_m]-I think this is such a cool, foreign yet familiar sounding name. I think I prefer it with a ‘ph’ though :slight_smile:
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]/[name_m]Rob[/name_m]/[name_u]Robbie[/name_u]-Actually don’t like [name_m]Robert[/name_m]/[name_m]Rob[/name_m]/[name_u]Robbie[/name_u] at all, but [name_u]Robin[/name_u] is such a cool name!
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]/[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]-[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] much, but [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] has this sort of vintage feel to it - I like it :slight_smile:
[name_m]Ronald[/name_m]/[name_m]Ronald[/name_m]-Funny how letter arrangement can make such a difference. [name_m]Ronald[/name_m] feels old & clunky to me, yet [name_m]Roland[/name_m] is fresh & new.
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]-This is such a cool, bold, playful name. It speaks ‘BOY’ to me!

I voted for [name_m]Rufus[/name_m]/[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as I think they are all lovely however I’m not a fan of any of the others. My favourite R name overall that isn’t on this list has to be [name_m]Ronan[/name_m].

all NMS but [name_u]Reeve[/name_u] is my absolute favorite boy name

I wanted to pop back in and mention the Welsh Rhydian. It’s pronounced “RID-ee-an” and is likely derived from the Welsh world rhudd meaning “red.”

I’m also surprised that no one has mentioned River.

are my uncle’s two given names and while I don’t fancy them separately (especially [name_m]Ronald[/name_m]), I think the sound of them together is every bit as melodic as [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] or [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f].

Love Riordan, and it’s meaning (royal bard, I believe?), but Robin is nice too : ) And also Rigby, which isn’t on the list.

Top Picks

1 [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
2 [name_m]Roland[/name_m]
3 [name_m]Rufus[/name_m]/[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - I think I prefer [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] a tiny bit more!
