A girl I went to HS with is naming her second child, a girl, Roxy. She also has a three year old son named Trent.

Roxy.

I hate it. The first thing I thought of was One Life to Live. It has a Roxy charactor who is a drunk loser. Or, a stripper.

I don't think Roxy is THAT bad...but I'd never use it.

My first thought was of Chicago.

I wouldn't use it either, but I do think it would be cute as a nickname ... providing that I actually liked any of the names that it might be derived from.

Can think of worse.

Makes me think of "Chicago". And Roxie Hart. And then, I start singing the song with her name in it.

i'd use it for a pet before I'd use it for a child.

My best friend's little sister is named Roxy(Roxanne.) I really like it.

As I do not watch soap operas, the reference is lost on me. I've always quite liked Roxy and Roxanne. Back in my early teens (classic bad taste years), I dreamed of twin girls name Roxanne and Rhubarb, nicknamed Roxy and Ruby.

That dream has LONG fizzled, but I still quite like both Roxanne and Roxy as a diminutive.

Roxy is a pet's name to me. Like a dog or cat. Or ferret.

Lol my mom almost named me Roxanne after the Police song. Something about it has always just sounded a little trashy to me.

I think we have a strip club here in st. louis called roxy's. :/

Roxanne is nice. Just Roxy is not nice.

I like the name Roxy, as long as it's a nn for Roxanne (which I love). I knew a Roxy and she was really awesome.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Trent is so ugly.
Roxanne/Roxanna would be much better,but I don't mind Roxy as a nn.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Roxy makes me think of the song Roxanne (especially the Moulin Rouge cover).
It's not bad, just really punk.

I like Trent!

Now that song from Chicago is stuck in my head. :P ("The name on everybody's lips is gonna be... ROX-IE")

ditto!

I know about 4 people with dogs named Roxy.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Roxie was my number one girls name for a really long time, actually. So obviously, I don't have the same problems with it that you do. I think it's nice.

A friend of mine is Roxanna but she goes by Roxy, I think it's cute..as a NN

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I kind of like Roxy...I think it's cute. I'd never ever use it though...I think it's a little stripper-ish.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i like it. i wouldnt personally use it, but its cute. its not going to age well, but there are certainly worse names.

my first thought is of the winona ryder movie 'welcome home, roxy carmichael'

[shortbutfast.livejournal.com]

could be worse but i think of rocker clubs and hookers.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I knew a woman named Roxy. She was really nice! Not a "stripper" type at all.

But to me Roxy is a nickname for Roxanne. It shouldn't be on the birth certificate. That's like having a boy and putting his first name as Bobby on the birth certificate (that actually happened to my former band director).
