I like it, DH does and most important my dearest mother gives it her seal of approval!

What the general opinion on it though as I haven't heard it used very often?

Quite like Guy Alexander. It goes with our surname as well.

When I was very young I had the most enormous crush on a boy called Guy, it has made me very fond of the name. I've never met a Guy who wasn't dark and good-looking (if a little short).

He could work for MAC as a makeup artist and get me cheap makeup.

It's my grandad's name, and I love it.

He wasn't gay

bluenosesaint · 27/07/2008 22:10

Really don't like it. Sorry.

Janni · 27/07/2008 22:14

It's fine as long as it goes well with your surname.

Rachmumoftwo · 27/07/2008 22:25

Guy isn't a gay name- Guy of Gisborne was much hotter than puny old Robin Hood.

bikerunski · 27/07/2008 22:27

Like it. It is can be used in France to be short for Guiellme (sp?), French version of William.

controlfreakyagain · 27/07/2008 22:27

gus is even nicer....

ranting · 27/07/2008 22:28

Well I know a Guy and he is definitely not gay and he is a very nice chap, so because I associate the name with someone I know, I like it.

Pannacotta · 27/07/2008 22:32

I love it, it is DS2's middle name. Not quite sure why we didnt just call him Guy, but there you are!

Nappyzoneneedsanewname · 27/07/2008 22:39

I hope if I have a DS called Guy, he lives up to the name!

It's a great name. I know a particularly gorgeous Guy.

(but not if pronounced Goo-ie, as one of my friend's friends named her baby)

ninedragons · 27/07/2008 23:07

Love it.
