Love Roxanne.
Not into Roxy on its own... or even at all... Roxanne's only 2 syllables, people can say the whole nae.
Haven't known many Roxannes, but never heard them use nns... It's one of my faves now... Used to like Roxanne Emily, but then Emily became popular and I prefer Roxanne Alexandra now.

I know two Roxannes. One is maybe 14, the other probably 60. Both are very nice women. Though I do mainly think of Roxane from "Cyrano de Bergerac" when I hear the name...I prefer the spellings Roxane and Roxana. I think Roxy as a full name is too cutesy, but it's a good nickname. That's what the Roxanes I know go by. I can see it in the top 100 eventually, but probably in the form Roxy. It could easily become a trendy revival IMO.

I love Roxanne/Roxy, but that's my beloved dog's name! Lady Roxanne Blue is her full name, "Roxy" or "Roxy-ann" for short!

I love all names related to Roxana, so I heart both Roxanne, Roxane and Roxy (as a nickname), but I definitely prefer Roxana. It's my best friend's name and it has grown on me so much that it's one of my favourites. She goes by Roxy. Teachers used to have a lot of problems with her name for some reason. She was called Mexicana, Rexona, Sahara, etc. It's not that hard!

♥ Roxana ♥I adore both Roxanne and Roxana. I also like Roksana, the Russian version. I would spell the names exactly as I have them, although I suppose Roxanna would also work. Roxy is an adorable nickname, but I really can't see it on its own. Sounds more like a full name for a dog.I don't know anyone named Roxy, Roxie, Roxane, Roxanne, Roxana, or Roxanna! I think that's part of the name's charm; it's familiar but unusual. Other nicknames could be Anna or Annie; I could even see Rosie.I don't think I see it in the top 100, but you never know...

I would spell it Roxanne, because if someone told me that was their name it's the spelling I would automatically use.I know a friend of mine has an Aunt Roxy, but I don't know if her name is really Roxy or if it's a nickname for Roxanne.

I've always preferred Roxane, maybe cause I really don't like the name Anne. But Roxane I do like, and Roxy is such a cool nn. I'd go for Roxana too.... I think Roxy is best for the nn... I know one Roxanne, so it's not that popular where I live in the UK and I can't see it getting that way
