Nay sorry. If its a family name can you not use as middle name?

I quite like Roy, but I have a friend who, when considerably inebriated, likes to yell at people "ROY THE BOY!" Nobody knows who Roy the boy is.

What about Royston.

Bowlersarm · 01/08/2013 22:14

Nay.

Roy doesn't sound like a cool teen. Roy doesn't sound like a trendy 20 something. He doesn't sound like a popular 30 year old family man.

He sounds a bit like a retired 70 year old!
