Fitzroy is nice??

EvelynWardrobe · 26/09/2017 15:55

I think of the cat in the Lego Movie. Grin

Dustbunny1900 · 26/09/2017 15:53

That's like the ultimate hick backwoods name here, so I guess I can't be impartial..but if he will never live in he US I guess it doesn't matter

Stormyweather1 · 26/09/2017 12:49

I think of it as a slinky cat's name! Kind of cool though for that reason

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 20/09/2017 13:50

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

This. But if you're going to have a name from a song, it is a very good song!

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.

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

Dixiestampsagain · 20/09/2017 00:32

Another who thinks of lovely Leroy from Fame!

ibentmywookie · 19/09/2017 11:43

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.

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

macandcheesewithbacon · 19/09/2017 09:57

I love it love it love it but I had a major crush on Leroy from fame. Looking back I can't imagine what 11 year old me saw in himBlush

I like it. I thought of Bugsy Malone

YesItsMeIDontCare · 19/09/2017 08:31

TinyRick I forgot how much I loved that video.

Huge R and M fan too 😀

Hayesking · 19/09/2017 07:55

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

TinyRick · 19/09/2017 07:51

...Jenkiiiins!

Gamer here, too.

Hayesking · 19/09/2017 07:48

IStoleThisUsername Leeeeeeroy!!

TillyTheTiger · 19/09/2017 07:47

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

Marmite27 · 19/09/2017 07:46

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

n0ne · 19/09/2017 07:46

Oo, I forgot this name existed! I like it another Fame fan here

IStoleThisUsername · 19/09/2017 07:45

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

Itsgoodforthegarden · 19/09/2017 07:43

Great name! Makes me think of Fame ⚡️💫too! Grin

AllPowerfulLizardPerson · 19/09/2017 07:37

What stereotype?

Gibbs?

greendale17 · 19/09/2017 07:32

Always seems to conform to their stereotype

Gunpowder · 19/09/2017 07:31

Love it
