What do you think of Guy?

Hi,

We are really really struggling for boys names. My DH suggested Guy last night.

I don't hate it, but I don't think I love it either. It seems rather simple to me. It also doesn't feel like a little boys name to me, more appropriate for an adult.

What's your reaction?

Thank you!

Love it good strong name.

Another thought I've had on this is that while not currently over-popular, Guy does have a slightly current "vibe" to it, as I've come across quite a few babies/young children with short names ending in "y" recently, such as Roy, Rory, Ray, Jay, Ty etc.

Guy is a good strong solid name. And not as overused as lots of the current trendy cutesy names. Good choice!

I'm not a big fan but a friend I was at school with has just called her baby Guy. Not a 'child's' name IMO but then most of our lives are spent as adults, therefore it makes a lot more sense to give a child an adult name which they can grow into than have a cutesy diminutive one on their birth certificate that seems faintly ridiculous on a grown man.

I actually quite like it. It's easy to say and spell and is not overused!

I've known a few Guys of various ages (including a teen), so it's not specific to any one generation, IMO. I say go for it!

bit dated sounding to me tbh, aren't most 'Guys' about 50?
