Boy name Guy

Roxell · April 2016

What are your honest thoughts on the name Guy? It was my late FIL's name so I love the idea of using it, but I kinda feel it's like naming your son 'boy'.

keri0426 · April 2016

I don't see a problem with it. It's not like it isn't a real name.

tmk0325 · April 2016

I personally think there are much better options. It's just NMS.

Bringmemylongswordho · April 2016

I'd middle name it.

emilyray14 · April 2016

It's NMS, but I would find it very refreshing on someone's else's kid. Go for it!

little_bren · April 2016

Maybe use his MN?

ashleyandely · April 2016

I had an Uncle Guy. I actually really like it.

Cricket99 · April 2016

With the term "hey guys" so common right now it would drive me crazy personally. It's a fine middle name though.

nurse714 · April 2016

I wouldn't have the guts to use it, but I think it's kinda cool, and with the family significance, I say go for it.

SmrBrd2012 · April 2016

NMS but wouldn't side eye or anything.

bbiutmcph · April 2016

I wouldn't use it personally but I do like it and have a lot of positive association with it as a name

jenna8984 · April 2016

I hate it but that's just me.

LizaKate1213 · April 2016

I seriously dislike 1 syllable given names

lm45678 · April 2016

No strong feelings either way TBH- if you don't love it I would middle name it though

penelope4612 · April 2016

NMS but I wouldn't side eye it

PhoebeJune1984 · April 2016

I have two friends named Guy. Personally, I would middle name it.

LadyDi711 · April 2016

I only know the name "Guy" as a nn for the Italian name Gaetano. If your family has Italian roots or it has some meaning to you, I see no problem naming someone Gaetano and calling them Gae (pronounced Guy). However, I do think it would be kind of strange to name someone Guy.

klirwin82 · April 2016

I know this in French, pronounced "ghee" which I love but haven't heard it in the US except Guy Fieri. Not sure I love pronouncing it "guy".

Marley629 · April 2016

Not a fan but may just Be NMS

ElRuby · April 2016

This is a cool name and with the family name it's definately a good choice!

Roxell · April 2016

Thanks for the replys everyone. Who knew choosing names is so hard.

kim1989 · April 2016

NMS at all but I have met one person with that name

virginiaunicorn11 · April 2016

I really like it and especially because it's a family connection. Very cool! I think it loses something in the middle name position.

This.

kaswanson · April 2016

I like it!

CaboBride2015 · April 2016

I think it's kind of strange. I know two, one with the American pronunciation and one French. The French pronunciation certainly sounds better but I'd just skip this name and find another name. Maybe your FIL mn?

jamiesc58 · April 2016

I know one man named Guy and he goes by Gator. I always thought it was weird that his parents gave him that first name. I would use it as a mn.

mothernorth · April 2016

I know one Guy, I think it sounds neat.

FluffleSprout · April 2016

I don't love it. It's a relatives's name. He has a Guy junior son too who they call Little Guy. Little Guy is 6 foot something and 300 pounds but is still smaller than his dad.

doodleoodle · April 2016

I have a much older sister that was married to a man named Guy. I remember meeting him when I was really little, like 4 or 5 and thinking his name was hysterical. I thought they were joking and that couldn't have possibly been his real name. So I guess I'm not a fan.

drea1016 · May 2016

Not a huge fan personally, but I wouldn't think anything of it being the name of someone else's kid. If it were me, I'd use it as a middle name.

BlueJuice · May 2016

I think it's the kind of name where the whole thing hangs on the surname - like, there are surnames this would work with, and others where it definitely would not. (Guy Smith, anyone?!)

Proposing Gaius as an alternative long-form, which you could shorten to Guy at whim.

starswilldiex2829 · May 2016

My husband has twin cousins and 1 of them is named Guy...his moms side is italian and its a common name i believe. I like that its different because it isn't as common right now and its not another generic italian name like Anthony...

kmvisioli · May 2016

Dislike Guy. Suggesting Gus as an alternative.
