I'd pronounce it like Rory.It's fine but kind of unnecessary because it has a decent looking anglicization: Rory. I like Rory a lot.I can understand people using Aoibheann or Aisling or Saoirse because they anglicizations aren't nearly as nice and often look bad or trendy.But Rory looks fine and classic so I'd use that.My favorites:Oisín
Cormac (I hope this is Irish)
Aidan (again, the anglicization works nicely here)
Rory
Ronan (not sure if this is Irish or Gaelic I am too lazy to look it up)Aoibheann
Aoife
Aisling
Aoibhinnand probably more that I am forgetting now. I love Irish names.

Rory. I had a Ruairi colleague once. He was Scottish.

I though it was pronounced Rory, but then I heard someone say it more like roo-ri. Thank you for your response.
