Help narrowing list of boy names

just thinking · May 2017

We're finalizing the adoption for our sweet boy next month, and need to make a decision on his name. I keep second guessing my choice. Here's our list:

1. Rory (Would either be Rory as a standalone name, or Rory short for Robert)
2. Owen
3. Finn
4. Ciaran

Middle name options: Miller, Delany, Thomas- all family names.

Our last name starts with an R, and though I think Rory is my top name, the double R might have too much alliteration. Robert/Rory would be after my dad.

I really like Rory standalone. As long as the surname doesn't end with the same ending as Rory I think it would be fine. Rory Richardson for example no issue. Rory Thomas is great!

I love Rory, and Rory Thomas flows great.

I love Rory! I don't mind alliteration at all.

Rory is cute

If you don't like the alliteration maybe Corey? But I do like Rory even with an R name

I agree that Rory Thomas sound great together.

I vote Rory/Robert because it's after your dad. But I also really like Owen and Finn, are those middle name options too? Either would work.

Rory as a standalone name is my favorite from that bunch.

If Rory is a family name and you love it then go with it. I don't mind the two Rs for first and last. I'm not a Rory fan because all I can think of is Gilmore girls and that show drives me up a tree but there isn't anything wrong with the name, that's just my personal bias. I like Ciaran the best out of the names you listed.
