I can't believe I haven't added Rory before. I have used Rory as a nickname for one of my female characters whose name is Aurora. I first liked this name when I watched the T.V. Show Gilmore Girls years ago. Lorelai "Rory" Gilmore is one of the main characters. Then recently I have been watching Doctor Who on T.V. and one of the Doctors current companions is a guy named Rory who is married to Amelia "Amy" the Doctors other companion. *Amelia is a name on my list of posts.* I like the meaning of Rory and I like how it is said.
