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?

I love it. Cute for a little one and sexy for a grown up.

I know a couple of Guys in their 30s. It's a cool name.

Guy Ritchie is the only horrid celeb Guy I think of, which is not too bad. He'll be well down the dumper before it matters to a 2008 baby.

it's quite unusual without being odd, imo. I don't know any other Guys personally.

My son is called Guy, so obviously I love it and have found that is is nicely unusual without being wierd.

Bet you've never met an unsuccessful Guy either have you? They all seem to be very upmarket.

Same, Dittany. The Guy I knew at uni was heart-stoppingly beautiful.

I think we are quite stuck on the name Guy now, definitely a first for me as my last two pregnancies, we could never decide on a boy's name. Will be interesting to see if this means I am having a boy!

I know a Guy - he's tall, dark, toned and absolutely gorgeous.. Definitely successful... Mmm, I used to have a huge crush on him at school.

You’re definitely not a troll guyisnotaname
Nope not one bit.

Lovely name, just slightly posh in a good way but also strong.

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/03/2019 01:37

Love it, cool and sexy.

dementedma · 17/03/2019 15:49

Ds (17) best friend is a Guy. Only one in the school. Its a really cool name

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 17/03/2019 15:56

I'm not a fan. It feels like parents couldn't find an actual name - just Guy? But I'm American and I know certain name trends are different.

Guy is a posh cad who leaves a trail of broken sloaney hearts all over Chelsea and Kensington.

Doh. Have just noticed this is an antique thread.
