It's similar Leroy because Leroy comes for le roi which means "the king." Roi is pronounced "rwa" though not Roy.

I hope this helps.

It's how I was taught to pronounce it at least when i took it. The name may be pronounced "Croy," but the French word itself is ""Kwa."

Really?! My SIL took at least five years of French and has been to France quite a few times, and she pronounced it "Croy."

I prefer Crew to Croix because I see it as "Kwa" not Croy (it's only pronounced Croy in the U.S. Virgin Islands).

That is a perfect name combo! Love it!! :) What are people's reactions when they hear his name? Do you have a lot of people mispronounce it?

Croix Maverick is my 18 month old sons name :)) I love it!!!

Thank you for your comment! It's crazy how names are popular in some areas, but not others. :) I would never say I made it up, because I certainly didn't.

I heard it a couple of years ago, and wasn't sure if I liked it until the last couple of months. I love it now!

I know 3 people named Croix

A 3 year old, 18 year old and 53 year old.

But love it

Ladies!!! Can I block people on this app?! Got a crazy private message from someone who commented on this post (she deleted her comment).

She claimed I said "I invented Croix," and she said I got the name from her. ? I don't believe she ever commented on any of my own posts or polls, and if she did, it was a long time ago. I always try to thank everyone and be positive, but I don't notice who comments certain names on posts that aren't my own. Who has time for that?! Any help would be appreciated!!

Love it. Was actually considering this name myself!

@gina3111, I don't get what you are saying?? If you think I got the name Croix from you, you're wrong. Croix has been on my radar for the last two years, way before I joined this app.

Thanks ladies for all of your positive comments! I knew exactly how to pronounce it when I first heard it, and I have not had one ounce of French! I don't think it's too hard to figure out how to say it.. But I could be wrong. :) I still love Crew, but am going to add Croix to my list!

I like it more than I like Crew!

I love it! Very original but not absolutely crazy :) good pick!

I prefer Crew but Croix is definitely cool if you don't mind some people not knowing how to pronounce it

You changed your profile pic, I didn't recognize you Shawnie!

I think I prefer Crew to Croix, but I can see the appeal of both.

I would be just a little afraid of the amount of people that wouldn't know how to pronounce it.

Oh, and I like it!

Croix is pronounced "Croy". Like St Croix and Croix de guerre. It is the french word for "cross".

How do you pronounce that?
