Is the name Roy ready to make a comeback?! We like Roy, it's DH middle name, but it took awhile to grow on me. What do you think of the name Roy?
-
I dont dislike it. I think it could be cute depending on what you pair it with. You could always use something like Royce and use Roy as the nickname.
I would immediately assume that it was short for something though. If you don't mind that, then go for it!
-
I like Royston as a name and Roy for short
-
I don't love or hate it. On a cute baby, I think it would be adorable!
-
It's a name I haven't heard or thought about in a very long time! But I think it could be cute.
-
I know a guy named Roy. I have always felt his parents didn't finish naming him. Who knows it could have been a nickname all this time. I don't love the name, but you have a positive connotation with the name.
-
like it! I don't think it needs to be a nick name. I've only ever heard it as a standalone name.
-
Don't love. It's a fine name, but I like things with a little more interest. I think it's a great middle name.
-
I like it.
-
I REALLY like it!
-
Kinda indifferent as a first name. But I like it as a middle name!
-
I think it's cute!
-
I like it!
-
I only don't like it bc. I know a Roy that's a big jerk.
-
Not my cup of tea, but not a bad name by any stretch!
-
It makes me think of the movie Overboard for some reason!
-
I love it!
I love one syllable names that are a bit different for boys. -
I always think of it as a last name. I don't really care for it.
-
Thanks you all for sharing your thoughts! You ladies are the best!!! We actually decided "for now" that we love it and it may be Roy Anthony. Its DH middle name and DH grandfathers first name so I feel it's fitting and super cute!!
-
@jh524: love that ! Love that it has a classic name feel but is still a little different since its not as common anymore !
-
@coacheswife123: thanks!!!!
-
aww i like the combo of roy anthony a lot! i think it goes together really well
roy is not exactly my cup of tea, but certainly a good strong name!
-
@jh524: Awesome combo, very masculine.
-
@zippylef: I dated a guy named Royce and always loved that name, his dad called him Roy so that gets my vote!
-
I like it! We named our son Cliff. I love masculine, succinct, classic boy names and Roy fits that bill!
-
I like it- it makes me think of Roy Halladay who plays for the Phillies (my team). He's a total badass :).
-
I'm not in love with it, but that might be because I can hear all of my students saying it in an annoying voice (we just had a Roy graduate this year).
