My apologies if this is personal for anyone, but "Rory" is a STUPID name!!

The worst name I’ve ever heard is Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo.

I’m glad there’s a Rory Gallagher thread. Kind of crazy that it took this long. Anyway, I’m in. I’m a lowly Sinner Boy.

I’m glad someone else had the first impression of what this thread could have been about. It’s a terrible name for an award.

Huh? I thought it was because Lorelei druggedly slurred the name after she gave birth and the nurse recorded it as she heard it. Am I misremembering?

If instead of Rory you said Moesha or Hakeem…

But anyway I’ll follow your trip. One of the dumbest (looking) sounding name to me is Deirdre.

That’s not how I interpret the story. She chose the name Lorelai while “whacked out on Demerol,” and some time later Rory chose her own nickname, likely because she couldn’t yet pronounce Lorelai correctly.
