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?

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.

But... you’re inviting judgment on the name, by posting here and asking for people to give opinions on what it might be shortened to or nicknamed...

It won't be shortened to Roy, it will be changed to rolls.

Is Royce an actual name? It sounds made up sorry.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 29/04/2021 09:38

Rolls Royce please no

UhtredRagnarson · 29/04/2021 09:36

He will be rolls Royce for all his days. Don’t do it to him.

Really? Please don't, the teasing will never end.

Blacktothepink · 29/04/2021 09:35

I know a Royce and it’s not shortened.

FrancesFlute · 29/04/2021 09:34

Not keen at all. Think it reminds me of Boysie from Only Fools and Horses...

Nn are very common at school, especially shortening. So yes at school I think it will be shortened to Roy or Rolls
