Our story of Floyce
Our story of Floyce is about a rhyme. Joyce was a familiar girl's name, Royce a boy's, Floyd a man's, and Floyce sits exactly where the three meet: the front of one, the sound of the others. It went almost entirely to daughters, but a few sons received it too, which is no surprise in a name that rhymes both ways. It is a single syllable, and it carries three names in it.

Fashion outlook
Floyce sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.

The trade-off
- One syllable, rhyming with Joyce, so it is easy to say and hear.
- Recorded for girls and, rarely, for boys.
- Clearly related in sound to Floyd, which gives it a family resemblance.
- People will hear Joyce or Floyd and write that, so the spelling will need giving.
- It is almost always a girl's name in the record, so a boy named Floyce would be taken for a girl on most forms, while a girl may be taken for a Floyd by strangers; either way it is quickly put right.
