so far have been called Rory.

3 baby boys I know, all born in the last 10 days all named Rory.

Was there a law passed that I missed...?? Lovely name, I love it, but I didn't know it had become compulsory...!

The last three baby boys I know of (admittedly born over 3 months) have been called Leo.

That's funny. DH and I have narrowed our short list down to Arthur and Rory but I know 3 boys born in the last 3 weeks that have been called Arthur! So we thought Rory was still a bit under the radar. Obviously not!

I know two born this year - Charlie and Ben.

Our DS is due in a few weeks - I had Rory on my list but DH vetoed. Didn't have any of the other names mentioned here so far though.

I think Rory is always pretty common in Scotland and Ireland, probably more under the radar in England.

Op, I see your 3 Rory's and raise you 4 Ruby's and 5 Emily's in a row last year !! (For girls, obv) Grin I'm in scotland too btw and I agree that Rory or Ruairidh (Gaelic spelling) is more common here than darn sarf.

I hope it isn't becoming too popular, DC3 is due in 2 weeks and will be Rory if it's a boy.

I only know of one baby born this year so far. He's called Boris. Can't see that exploding in popularity any time soon.

Arthur and Rory - It's the Doctor Who effect! And maybe a bit of Merlin too...

Doesn't that literally mean 'indifferent'? Or am I spelling it wrong?

MrGeresHamster · 13/01/2013 10:25

Round here it seems to be two syllable names beginning with E...

Three boys in the last six months all called Lachlan/Lauchlan. And two Ruairidhs, I'm in Scotland too! (Though they say Jack is the most popular name, I've never met a small one!)
