I like it, DH does and most important my dearest mother gives it her seal of approval!

What the general opinion on it though as I haven't heard it used very often?

Quite like Guy Alexander. It goes with our surname as well.

When I was very young I had the most enormous crush on a boy called Guy, it has made me very fond of the name. I've never met a Guy who wasn't dark and good-looking (if a little short).

It's fine as long as it goes well with your surname.

Guy isn't a gay name- Guy of Gisborne was much hotter than puny old Robin Hood.

Like it. It is can be used in France to be short for Guiellme (sp?), French version of William.

Well I know a Guy and he is definitely not gay and he is a very nice chap, so because I associate the name with someone I know, I like it.

It's a great name. I know a particularly gorgeous Guy.

(but not if pronounced Goo-ie, as one of my friend's friends named her baby)
