Troy McClure

Boy or girl?

I think of the character in the Ngaio Marsh books for the female version, so it comes out with strong, independent and intelligent associations. I don't like it so much on a boy, but even then it's OK.

Troy Tempest [old]

seeker · 14/03/2011 18:43

I actually fancied Troy Tempest. How sad is that!

alexaj · 14/03/2011 19:13

Tiny bit chavvy.

UrsulaBuffay · 14/03/2011 19:18

Tortoise · 14/03/2011 19:19

LeonardNimoy · 14/03/2011 19:19

Grin at Troy McClure. Really, don't do it!

blackeyeddog · 14/03/2011 19:23

oh. I like it. Was just going to put not at all chav.

FuppyGish · 14/03/2011 19:29

Onion1968 · 14/03/2011 21:47

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!

kalo12 · 14/03/2011 22:00

sounds like a porn star

Wheelybug · 14/03/2011 22:03

I have only known 3 babies born so far this year - 1 was a girl and both the other 2 have been called Troy (Southwest London, should that be relevant). But, am not sure I like it. Sorry.

I think it sounds American
I know three Troys and they're all from the US. Obviously I know the name itself isn't American but if I came across a Troy my first instinct would be are they from the US

joydivisionovengloves · 14/03/2011 22:43

Awful name. Sorry.

donnie · 14/03/2011 22:45

yes, uber-chav. Really, really dreadful actually. It's up there with Wayne, Coleen and Kai. Only worse.

usualsuspect · 14/03/2011 22:47

Troy Tempest wasn't a chav , what a bloody awful word chav is

donnie · 14/03/2011 22:49

it is awful - and yet somehow so wonderfully accurate.
