Rory for a girl...

Hello again!


My DH is at the point where he won't even discuss baby names anymore (not necessarily a bad thing, since we end up arguing most of the time we do). I don't know what I'd do without this board!


Our first daughter is Cassidy Drew. We're having another girl, and our "list" (if you can call it that) includes two names: Jillian Kate - which I adore and DH used to love, but he's getting colder about it all the time, and Victoria Kate, called Rory most of the time - this name is a compromise (DH LOVES Rory and wanted to just use that, I insisted on a full name - neither of us liked Aurora and I couldn't sway DH on Georgia), but I'm not 100% in love with it.


My question is this: what is your first association when you hear the name Rory? Do you think girl? boy? unisex? And does Gilmore Girls come to mind right away? I really want to avoid a "pop culture" type name. I'm just trying to feel out the name and the kind of personality it has, KWIM?


Thank you!


ETA: Sorry, I should have posted this in the Girls section!


Also ETA: Does Victoria fit with Cassidy in style at all? It seems like a stretch to me...

Thanks... I think it's the perfect compromise. It's always been near the top of my list, and since DH's one name that he loves would work as a nn for it, I figure we couldn't have a better compromise. DH is still a little stuck on the George connection, but we don't personally know anyone named George, so I think he'll get over it. *crosses fingers*


I really appreciate the feedback - it's nice to know our choices aren't too out there!

I think Jillian Kate or Georgia Kate nn Rory are both wonderful options!

Thanks for the feedback - my fingers and toes are crossed that DH will be on board with either Jillian or Georgia. I think he might be getting closer, but I'm afraid to push the issue just yet.


Thanks for the name suggestions; I really do like Mallory and Veronica. DH shuddered when I brought up Veronica once before, and Mallory doesn't work with our last name, otherwise they'd be contenders for sure.

I love the name Rory for a girl. I am 100% sure DH and I are using Rory (as a given name) for our first daughter. I'm just not sure on the middle name yet, but it will most likely be my middle name, Lee...Rory Lee. Rory Kate sounds really cute!
Good luck,
Tracy

Rory Lee sounds really good together. You're the first person I've "met" who has used/is using Rory for a girl. Good choice!
