Page 4 | Royce? Help!

Me and my partner like Royce but the idea of it being shorted to Roy I'm not a fan on! Does anyone know. Royce and are they called roy? Or would you call someone Royce roy?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

I know a Royce, who is always called Rolls. I assumed his real name was Roland.

I only found out his name was Royce when I went to his wedding, after knowing him for nearly 10 years.

If you’re getting so worked up about people not liking the name now , imagine what it will be like for a child with that name at school !

Why do parents never think of the child they are naming ?!

It will probably be shortened to Roy which is almost as bad as a baby Keith 😂

EvilEdna1 · 29/04/2021 11:45

I know one. Late 30s. No one calls him Roy.

SeaTurtles92 · 29/04/2021 11:40

You sound really immature.

It will be shortened to Roy (I noticed you could not be a fan of Roy though) but dare someone say they don't like the name Royce. Pot kettle?

UCOinanOCG · 29/04/2021 11:19

I think what people are trying to say is that there are a number of nicknames he may get if named Royce. Roy, Rolls, Roycie, Boysie etc. You have to think about them all and if you still like the name accept he may be called any of these nicknames.

LarsErickssong · 29/04/2021 10:40

I think he will probably get called Roy, as well as Rolls

@Bittersweet12

HahahhahaanHhHh this is so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't care if you like the name I like the name and so do my friends and family

So call him it then

Why even bother asking?

Yes he will get called all of the names listed above, including Roy.

Hope that helps

Rolls Royce - especially if he’s chubby

rainbowthoughts · 29/04/2021 10:32

Oh, and these things can scar a person for life.

rainbowthoughts · 29/04/2021 10:32

So what if people call a kid Rolls Royce? It's hardly going to scar someone for life. You could call a kid David and someone at school would decide to call him shithead, I really don't get the obsession with what kids at school might say.

Anyone who uses 'David might be known as shithead' as a defence for calling a child a name with an obvious and negative 'nickname' really don't hold anything worth listening to.

Tinacollada · 29/04/2021 10:32

Omg no

CartTriesToDriveTheHorse · 29/04/2021 10:30

I don’t think it will be shortened to Roy but he will be called Rolls, Rolls Royce, Royston Vasey etc...

While you haven’t asked for opinions on the name I think it’s fair for people to say it’s an awful name. I would expect someone to tell me if I was about to drive my car off a cliff and wouldn’t snap at them that I only asked if the sea was up ahead.

IDontLikeMondays88 · 29/04/2021 10:29

I prefer Roy to Royce - it has a nice vintagey feel

People on here are so weird. So what if people call a kid Rolls Royce? It's hardly going to scar someone for life. You could call a kid David and someone at school would decide to call him shithead, I really don't get the obsession with what kids at school might say. A girl at my school was called Katherine and people decided it was hilarious to call her Beverley for gods sake.

I wouldn't shorten Royce as it's already one syllable. Some people might but you do have some control over nicknames - people have started off shortening my name my whole life and have always stopped after I asked them not to.

Thank you!! Finally someone who talks sense!

BiBabbles · 29/04/2021 10:16

It's a strong possibility that it will be shortened by others, or even by him, to Roy or Rolls or other nicknames. Nicknames are one of those things that are pretty out of our hands once they get around others or get opinions on their name.

I would call someone by how they introduced themselves, so I wouldn't call someone who said their name was Royce Roy, though if someone else was talking about a Royce, I might hear Roy's depending on the situation and accent.

DinosaurDiana · 29/04/2021 10:10

Royce reminds me of Royston Vasey 🤣🤣

You asked whether it was likely to be shortened to Roy. Everyone answered that, by telling you it will be shortened to Rolls. No need to get arsy with people answering your question.

Luckingfovely · 29/04/2021 10:07

I think the issue here may be finding anyone else in the world apart from you two who actually LIKES the name

(Yup, you have invited comment by posting, and so to answer your question, it will be shortened, changed to Rolls, will invite lots of teasing, people will laugh at it, and it's a terrible idea)

Jumpalicious · 29/04/2021 10:07

Don’t go to Birmingham where rice is pronounced Royce. Just sayin.

@SugarCoatIt

I think you need to take the comments on board OP and factor this in - if you are still happy with the name then fine, but I really do think he'll be know as rolls Royce all his days. I think if anyone does shorten the name to Roy they'll be doing him a favour.

And I think you really need to re read the question because I didn't ask if anyone liked the name thanks

I asked if the name Royce would be sorted to Roy I didn't say do you like the name? To be honest I don't care what anyone thinks of any name I like there's always going to be someone who doesn't like it
