I have always loved the name [name]Roy[/name], and have always wanted to use it. I am currently pregnant with a boy, and want to use [name]Roy[/name]. I have a daughter named [name]Elsa[/name] ([name]Elsie[/name]) [name]Kathryn[/name], and [name]Roy[/name] just seems too short next to [name]Elsa[/name].
So, I was wondering if any of you could help me come up with a longer, more formal name with [name]Roy[/name] as a nickname.
[name]Royce[/name] was my first thought. [name]Fitzroy[/name] or [name]Royden[/name] could also work. Oh, but I just read that [name]Fitzroy[/name] was an English surname originally given to the illegitimate sons of a monarch. Not that many people would actually know that, but it makes me prefer [name]Royce[/name] or [name]Royden[/name].
I think [name]Leroy[/name] has a lot of spunk to it, maybe a bit more of a stretch but I think [name]Rollo[/name] goes well with [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Rollo[/name] & [name]Elsa[/name]
I don’t think [name]Roy[/name] is too short with [name]Elsa[/name]. It’s just one syllable different and one letter short. If [name]Roy[/name] is the name you love and you plan to call him that, that’s what I would name him!
