It sounds like a stereotypical New Yorker or New Jerseyite saying "bird."

I really like Boyd. It's way more interesting than Oliver; I hope it supersedes it. My spidey senses tell me it'll be in fashion in the next 15 years or so, though never super popular - it seems a bit dorky now but it won't for long. Basically, a good investment! Super distinct, too - nothing really sounds like it. Even names like Floyd and Lloyd don't really - Boyd is distinctive in its solid compactness, which names starting with F and L just don't quite have in the same way.

No idea what to do about combos. It's my theory teacher's MN, and I think his combo is just perfect - Stanley Boyd. AWWW. Okay. But, yeah. Boyd William?? Super easy. Boyd Justin? What a terrible combination. Boyd Timothy? I don't know, nothing seems to work in my mind. It's unfortunately very surnamey.

I don't like it, it sounds like an old mans name. Also the y looks like it's trying to fit in with all the trendy y names around at the moment. I think Oliver is so much better!

Finn and Boyd sounds ok together, but I don't think it goes with Oliver.

Nicknamed Tweety?

It's the make of my piano. :)

I don't really like the name that much but it could work with Finn and Oliver as brothers.

Sounds like a really bad NYC pronunciation of "bird".

In the US, Boyd is very much a hillbilly name. An American family who would name two sons Finn and Oliver would not name another son Boyd, not unless they had a very rich, very sickly relative named that and thought he'd take the hint if they named a son after him. lol

Seriously, Boyd is to Americans on the same level as Coy or Earl, just a step up from Cletus.
