What think you of a baby Leroy?

Really dislike this name, not sure why

Aquamarine1029 · 18/09/2017 22:09

Bad, bad Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.

First thing that pops in my mind anytime I hear that name.

sureitsgrand · 18/09/2017 22:13

I really like it! I know a Leroy, he is lovely.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 19/09/2017 07:17

Fame! (The 1980s original...I am that old. And may have had a slight crush on him).

AllPowerfulLizardPerson · 19/09/2017 07:28

Middle name Jethro?

Gunpowder · 19/09/2017 07:31

Love it

greendale17 · 19/09/2017 07:32

Always seems to conform to their stereotype

AllPowerfulLizardPerson · 19/09/2017 07:37

What stereotype?

Gibbs?

Itsgoodforthegarden · 19/09/2017 07:43

Great name! Makes me think of Fame ⚡️💫too! Grin

IStoleThisUsername · 19/09/2017 07:45

I'm a gamer, so for me it's Leroy Jenkins.

n0ne · 19/09/2017 07:46

Oo, I forgot this name existed! I like it another Fame fan here

Marmite27 · 19/09/2017 07:46

In agreement with Leroy Jethro Gibbs - it's the first thing that springs to mind

TillyTheTiger · 19/09/2017 07:47

Naughtiest boy in school when I was little, lunchtime was always punctuated by dinner ladies bellowing 'LEROY!' across the playground

Hayesking · 19/09/2017 07:48

IStoleThisUsername Leeeeeeroy!!

TinyRick · 19/09/2017 07:51

...Jenkiiiins!

Gamer here, too.

Hayesking · 19/09/2017 07:55

I never actually did that achievement, can you still get the Jenkins surname?

IStoleThisUsername · 19/09/2017 08:24

TinyRick I forgot how much I loved that video.

Huge R and M fan too 😀

YesItsMeIDontCare · 19/09/2017 08:31

Great name! This is my Leroy. 😊

Leroy
Mrsknackered · 19/09/2017 09:39

I like it. I thought of Bugsy Malone

macandcheesewithbacon · 19/09/2017 09:57

I love it love it love it but I had a major crush on Leroy from fame. Looking back I can't imagine what 11 year old me saw in himBlush

macandcheese,
Well, you'd have had to fight me for him. Smile
Him, and Theo Huxtable.

ibentmywookie · 19/09/2017 11:43

I would think of leg warmers, and poor dead Gene Anthony Ray (Leroy from Fame) doing the splits in mid air.

IRL, I've never met a white Leroy.

Dixiestampsagain · 20/09/2017 00:32

Another who thinks of lovely Leroy from Fame!

disappearingninepatch · 20/09/2017 08:33

I used to know someone whose middle name was Leroy, pronounced Le (like the French for 'the') Roy.

Foniks · 20/09/2017 09:05

I always thought it was an old man's name. I grew up with one and always thought it weird that he had an old man name whilst his siblings had modern names.
