Looking at boys names we like Rodney, Ronnie and Boycie any others like this, I've already said no to del boy before anyone adds that 😂

Boycie was a nickname based on the character's surname, I think. I certainly never came across anyone else called that despite living in cockney land all my life.
Are you looking for names like Reggie, Vince, Terry? 60's gangster type names?

Deafening · 03/02/2024 16:57

Boycie was apparently Herman.

Derek.

These names are very fashionable now.

CorylusAgain · 03/02/2024 16:59

Rodney and Ronnie (Ronald) aren't inherently cockney though.

Boycie isn't a name! You can't call a child Boycie.
If you are looking for old fashioned names from the 60s (there isn't really such thing as a cockney name)

Vince
Reggie
Ronnie
Terry
Gerry
Phil

Boycie was called boycie because his last name was boyce.

I don't think there is such thing as a cockney name . Unless you mean from TV programmes set in London ?

LindorDoubleChoc · 03/02/2024 17:05

Lol at Boycie.

Stan
Alf
Reggie
Danny (personal favourite)

The actual cockneys I know, born in the sound of Bow Bells, are called Ian, John, Adrian, Fred and Maude.

Boycie is a nickname, because his surname was Boyce.

I remember Fred Dineage asking Mad Frankie Fraser why they called him Mad Frankie and he replied "Well I was certified insane three times. They ain't gonna call me fackin' Sane Frankie."
