Bad, bad Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.

First thing that pops in my mind anytime I hear that name.

Fame! (The 1980s original...I am that old. And may have had a slight crush on him).

Always seems to conform to their stereotype

I'm a gamer, so for me it's Leroy Jenkins.

In agreement with Leroy Jethro Gibbs - it's the first thing that springs to mind

Naughtiest boy in school when I was little, lunchtime was always punctuated by dinner ladies bellowing 'LEROY!' across the playground

I never actually did that achievement, can you still get the Jenkins surname?

macandcheese,
Well, you'd have had to fight me for him. Smile
Him, and Theo Huxtable.

I would think of leg warmers, and poor dead Gene Anthony Ray (Leroy from Fame) doing the splits in mid air.

IRL, I've never met a white Leroy.

I used to know someone whose middle name was Leroy, pronounced Le (like the French for 'the') Roy.

I always thought it was an old man's name. I grew up with one and always thought it weird that he had an old man name whilst his siblings had modern names.
