Comments for LEROY:

I once saw in a name dictionary that the current meaning of the name, which means "the king", is the meaning of the name in today's modern French, but that the original meaning of the name from the ancient Old French actually means, "the servant of a King, or anotherwards, of God".

Trashy. Sounds like the name of a thug.

Leroy. Heh heh. I'm surprised no one else noted this, but Leroy is the name of the title character in 'Leroy and Stitch', the final installment in the 'Lilo and Stitch' movie/cartoon series. It makes sense, now that I'm thinking about it, 'King'.

Every time I hear this I think "Leeroy Jenkins!" It's an internet phenomenon spread from the über nerdy online game World of Warcraft. A player charged into a high-level dungeon with a distinctive cry of "Leeeeeeeerooooy. Jeeenkins!", ruining the meticulous attack plans of his group and getting them all killed. There are an insane amount of parodies and videos of Leeroy Jenkins' Light Brigade style charge on Youtube. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeroy_Jenkins
