Family name but opinions invited.

Yay.

Makes me think of the Fast Show!

What did I say Roy?
You said you could shit through the eye of a needle.
No I did not Roy.

Prefer Rex but Roy is quite nice.

VBisme · 01/08/2013 21:53

Nay

ChristineDaae · 01/08/2013 21:56

Nay sorry. If its a family name can you not use as middle name?

TheFillyjonk · 01/08/2013 21:57

I quite like Roy, but I have a friend who, when considerably inebriated, likes to yell at people "ROY THE BOY!" Nobody knows who Roy the boy is.

No, nor reg either

ShadeofViolet · 01/08/2013 22:06

Awful, sorry.

Where I used to work we had to have aliases and the office jerk chose Roy.

Allalonenow · 01/08/2013 22:07

Nay nay nay

Casmama · 01/08/2013 22:08

No - it makes me think of Roy from eastenders

DamnDeDoubtance · 01/08/2013 22:11

What about Royston.

Bowlersarm · 01/08/2013 22:14

Nay.

Roy doesn't sound like a cool teen. Roy doesn't sound like a trendy 20 something. He doesn't sound like a popular 30 year old family man.

He sounds a bit like a retired 70 year old!

Still18atheart · 01/08/2013 22:14

Nay

Taffeta · 01/08/2013 22:15

I prefer Ray.

Nay

KnittedC · 01/08/2013 22:16
