Rory...
I'm due with my second baby December 1st! We found out the gender a couple weeks ago and we're thinking of the names Rory Samuel or Rory Gabriel. WDYT? Our other son is Simon Emmanuel. Do you think Rory and Simon sound good together?

Rory Gabriel is just precious - that's a really nice combo! Simon & Rory sound fine together.

Rory is such a handsome name. Not keen on Gabriel or Samuel, but I think Rory Gabriel has the better sound.I think Rory and Simon sound very well together

Rory and Simon don't go together well, no. And I think Rory has such an annoying sound.

I like Rory, and I like how it sounds with Simon. Go for it. Rory Gabriel!

"Rory Sam" / "Rory Samuel" rocks!

I think that Rory is insubstantial as a first name. The only Rory I know, as a full first name, is female.I do like your combos.Rory and Simon make a good sibset.

Sorry but I'm not a big fan of Rory at all, nor do I think it fits with Simon. All the other names you mentioned are very biblical, so it also makes Rory really stand out and not fit. What about using Gabriel as the fn? It's so handsome!

I'm not too much of a fan of Rory either but my husband hates biblical names and this was his choice. :( I was rooting for either Asher, Silas or Ezra. He let me have either Samuel or Gabriel and I can't decide between the two.

How did you end up with a Simon Emmanuel then if your DH hates biblical names?!!

I love Rory! Very sweet and adorable for a boy but ages well and makes a handsome name for an adult. Rory Gabriel is lovely and goes well with Simon Emmanuel.

I don't like the name Rory, sorry. I don't like it in general, especially for a boy. I see it as very feminine. But Rory and Simon go fine together.

My husband likes the name because of Gilmore Girls :P

I like because of Gilmore Girls too actully, but that is what I see as the main source of people thinking it feminine.

I adore Rory and both combos are very handsome. I prefer the flow of Rory Gabriel a little better just because the hard 'g' is easier off the tongue than the 's' after the 'r' sounds in Rory (if that makes sense haha). But that is just the reasoning that sets that combo slightly ahead of Rory Samuel and it isn't by much. I don't think you can go wrong.I think Simon and Rory sound like great names for brothers. Both are well known names but not overly common and are awesome names :) Congratulations!

I think Simon and Rry make adorable brothers. I like Rory Samuel best, bjt both options are really lovely and fit well with older brother's name.

Congrats! I love both Simon and Rory, and they make a great sibset. I think from your options I prefer Rory Gabriel, but they're both good combos.

I love Rory! I'd use it, but our last name starts with R and I think it sounds too piratey. :)Both strong name combos, but I prefer Rory Gabriel. Simon & Rory go just fine together. I love unpredictable sibling names.
