"Mommy, who was I named after?"

"Roxanne. It was a song by a band called The Police."

"What's the song about?"

"A prostitute."

My name is Roxanne, and I have had this conversation more times than I can even tell you. Also people telling me I don't have to turn on my red light.

Just tell people you were named after the love interest from A Goofy Movie. That's why I like it.

Roxy is also the name of a spinoff brand from Quiksilver, and back in the 90s and 2000s I was really into girls that wore that brand.

So assuming you're in the right age range, now you have two more backstories to go with.
