Roxie/Roxy

[numbereleven]

What are your opinions on the name Roxie/Roxy (and which way would you spell it?)
I've heard that it's a 'stripper name' at least 7 times already, but I actually quite like the name! would you make this association?

Porn star or stripper or now Roxanne pallet

Put on your red light.
Or dog’s name.
Chicago.

I've known three Roxy's it doesn't have any stripper association with them. I'd personally do Roxanne nn Roxy.

Sorry to say I also think of strippers. I've also known some dogs called Roxy which puts me off.

Roxane/Roxana makes me think of the wife of Alexander the Great, very classical and regal. Next association, Roxy Hart. Then Roxanne the song.

I think I'd go Roxana NN Roxie.

It is such a harsh name. I think prostitute

Roxie is our cat's name and it suits her.
For a human though it does conjour up that stripper image.

My dog was called Roxy but I chose that because I like human names for dogs do I say go for it; it's a lovely name!

I’m sorry I also thought stripper name before I opened the thread

I like Roxy. I think surfer girl (like the clothing brand - is that still around??) rather than stripper.

Name of a local female jack Russell. I don't know any human Roxys.

I like Roxana more than Roxanne.

Awful. This is very snobby but when I was about 15 a friend's older sister had a baby and called it Roxy. She was only a teen herself. This was a long time ago. I remember my mum saying ''it's a shame that myfriend'smother didn't intervene to have a chat with her about names''. So roxy goes down in my memory as the first name I was ever aware of that people judged. By my own mother!! But still. I'd never heard her comment on any other name.

WHat about rixy short for Beatrix?

I know a Roxana (not sure if spelled with an x or not) I like it. Most of her closer friends/relatives do just call her Roxy though - I do think Roxy is more of a nickname than a full name tbh.

(Like Alex for Alexander) .

Roxy Hart, Chicago. Every time.

Also - side issue but if turns out my phone has a big issue with it as a name. It took me 5 goes to get that to say Roxy at the start of this post, it wants to autocorrect to “epoxy”, “poxy” or “foxy” (twice).

That Eastenders character was the first thing that came to my mind.

I don't like it at all, so harsh sounding.

Roxy from Eastenders. Who drowned in a swimming pool after taking heroin...

There was a Roxy in my DS's class years back at nursery. She was often heard to be called Foxy Roxy. Obviously children didn't mean it in a negative/sexy way but adults might be
I don't like it personally. Sorry
