Mad Frankie.
I remember Fred Dineage asking Mad Frankie Fraser why they called him Mad Frankie and he replied "Well I was certified insane three times. They ain't gonna call me fackin' Sane Frankie."

The actual cockneys I know, born in the sound of Bow Bells, are called Ian, John, Adrian, Fred and Maude.

Boycie is a nickname, because his surname was Boyce.

I don't think there is such thing as a cockney name . Unless you mean from TV programmes set in London ?

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 03/02/2024 17:03

Boycie was called boycie because his last name was boyce.

Boycie isn't a name! You can't call a child Boycie.
If you are looking for old fashioned names from the 60s (there isn't really such thing as a cockney name)

Vince
Reggie
Ronnie
Terry
Gerry
Phil
