Ew is all I can say lol! You take a boring, bland name like Anna and then staple a male surfer dude name to the front of it! Very nice!

Surfer?!It's interesting that Roy gives you the connotation of a surfer! I would have never gotten that impression from Roy. For a surfer I picture more Toby or Bodhi or Brody or Kai or something along those lines.

Surfer indeedIt seems like it's just me with this association, but I've always pictured guys named Roy as sandy-haired California surfer dudes who spend the entire day at the beach. All I can imagine is some guy going, "Dudeeee, Roy! That swell was gnarley, man!" In fact, when I was 7 or 8 I made a surfer frog at Build-a-Bear and named him Roy. But I still associate names like Brody with surfers, too.

Agreed - when I think "surfer", I think Cody, Brody, etc.Roy makes me think of a "good ole farm boy" or something moreso than a surfer.Interesting :P
