The name Roxanne is a top favorite of mine, and has been for years; I absolutely love it!
Ok, just fine.
I used to like this name but the fact there are two number one hit songs about a prostitute named Roxanne really turn me off of this name. Maybe for a pet.
It's lovely and the epitome of moxie!
It's very loud and flashy.
On two occasions, in two different countries, I've been stuck in a guesthouse for a whole rainy weekend and the only reading matter was a heap of production-line romantic novelettes. Both times, one of these books (not the same one!) had a Roxanne heroine who was, naturally, beautiful, charming, insecure, almost snared by the conniving villain but ended up with the bland, boring hero. After that, I have difficulty in taking the name seriously. I've never met one IRL.
Sounds dated and not very feminine
Me with the name Roxy. Roxy makes me think of an independent rebel or rockstar.
I prefer Roxy, but I like Roxanne as well! I think it's a very underrated name.
