Help[Opinions] Re: Roy.
in reply to a message by Siri
I'm not fond of it. It has a very hillbilly quality for me, and I picture it as being half of a double name like Roy Eddie or Donald Roy. Also, I don't think it flows off the tongue very well, I can't tell the difference between Roy and Rory easily.

Second one (that I've read) who has said that
That was a bit of a worry and one of the reasons I've stayed away from using Roy.
What would your view be on a male Roi?

Roi
Despite its Hebrew origins as name, Roi looks very full of itself to me in a "Vive le roi" way. It wouldn't make a particularly appealing impression on me if someone named their kid "king."

It looks misspelled, even though I know it isn't. Looks kind of like a nn, or like it was chopped off from some longer word/name. If you pronounce it the French way, which sounds to my ear something like Rwah, I like it even less.
I'd almost prefer you use Leroy. lol

Well, I'll strike Roi off unless I move back to the DC area.
