Definition of "Roy"

- - - The real pity is that the only name William Burton remembers is Roy ...it was a popular name in the fifties and sixties so there were probably quite a few of them.""Not that popular," said George. "Surely it's Roy Trent?""Roy Rogers...Roy Orbison... Roy of the Rovers...Roy Castle...""At least one of those was a comic-book character," said Andrew."So? Bill Clinton and David Beckham named their children after places. All I'm saying is we can't assume Roy Trent from Roy."
