[Opinions] Re: Rory
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like Rory, but only for a boy!
I had a colleague once, here in South Africa, though we were both working for a British concern: he was Scottish and named Ruairi, without any additions. Everyone coped perfectly: I rather regretted the absence of accents and 'dh's, but it was close enough.
Rory and Edward (Teddy) seem fine together; I don't think that Finn fits in, but then I dislike Finn so that's probably why. Though my friends, whose ln is Fynn, have a grandson (they had two daughters) named Fynn, and I like that. Finlay ... lnfns are extremely American in my experience, and I'm not fond of them at all, except for family reasons and then only as a mn.
