    Love it for a girl. Reminds me of when I watched Gilmore Girls and the daughters name was Rory. Its very cute.

    I like it when Girls use a name that sounds like it should be for a boy so i would say Rory would be a adorable girl name.

    The answer about Gilmore Girls was great. Her name, and her mother's name, was Lorelai. Her mom gave her the nickname "Rory". I love Lorelai with the nickname "Rory". A beautiful name with a really cute nickname.

    Just the name Rory sounds like a male name to me - actor Rory Calhoun

    Rory is one of the few names that I like for both boys and girls. Though for a boy it seems more fitting as a full name, and for a girl as a nickname (for possibly Aurora, Lorelai, Pandora..)

    I love it as a nickname for the girls name Aurora, otherwise Rory is better for a boy in my opinion :)

    I like it for a boy better, but i feel that more and more people find it feminine, so if you wanted to name your son rory, i would seriously think about it first. :)

    The only boy I've known named Rory was a red-headed bully in high school (Think the "O'Doyle" family from the movie Billy Madison :P

    I LOVE it for a girl's name. I think it's not too cutesy and quite original without being weird.

    Rory is a masculine name.

    Only if its used as a nickname for Aurora then it can be used for a girl.
