Lloyd?

[manton]

Thoughts on the name Lloyd? Is your first association the bank? 

@trickandtreat laughing so much "a perfect name for a pervert" 😂😂😂

A bit “thuggish”... although that might be because I went to school with one and he was a little shit....

I wonder why Lloyd needs 2 Ls? Wouldn't Loyd sound the same?!

I think of it as a surname to be honest.

It's Welsh, Another.

Spell it Loyd to make it yoonique? I don't think so. It is an anglicised version of Llwyd, which is Welsh for Grey.
Lloyd is perfectly ok as a name, very popular in Wales as a middle name. e.g. David Lloyd George, who you could google if you need to.

No way. If you want retro try Roger or Don.

I know a few Lloyds of all ages and find the comments a bit off. None are thuggish or perverts.

Mike
Agreed 

Thanks Lloyd.

I love it. Lloyd is a great name and works at any age.

Oh lighten up, Mike! Twas only a bit of fun.

Another Ninjago association here.

My best friend dh is called Lloyd and he is very cool, and funnily enough his best friend is also called Lloyd.
So I think of it being a cool, slightly hipster name.

I don't like the 'oyd' sound.

Plus I work with a raging bore woman whose son is named Lloyd, and she constantly calls him Poyd, Poydy, Poyders in her very, very many Facebook posts. So she's ruined the name for me, even if I had liked it in the first place.

I'm thinking Lloyd Garmadon.

That's the Lego Ninjago Lloyd.

As mentioned by the man himself upthread it makes me think of Lloyd Cole and I love Lloyd Cole. When I was little he was the coolest man alive where I was concerned.

Like it.

Absolutely love Lloyd! If I ever have another son I'll definitely consider it!

DS has Lloyd as a middle name but we are in Wales so a very common name.

I love it. I was between Lloyd or Leo if baby was a boy. But im having a girl!

It's a very good last name to have if you work in insurance  if I'm telling someone my name for something I pre-empt the "double L" issue by spelling it as I say it, as does everyone else in my family. Uncommon as a first name here, but I know of one (unrelated) who's about 8 or so.
