It's nice, and it's great that you have such a good namesake for it (Royal is apalling however). Incidentally, Roy (possibly transcribed Roi?) is also a modern Hebrew name, quite common amongst young Israeli men.

Roi's on my list. :-DDouble meaning. Ty. Remember, though, that Royal was born nearly 100 years ago, dirt poor, parents with no education and who were recent immigrants. So I understand why it was chosen.

I'm sure Royal's parents had their reasons for picking the name, but in a modern context it would be a really awkard name, especially professionally.
