One commented, "Roy? Sure his name isn't Travis?" Another wrote, "Roy? Absolutely love that name!!! #overboard," and a third added, "Great name, Roy."

Fans were excited about the fact that Goldie named her dog after a memorable line from her movie Overboard with Kurt Russell in 1987. When her character tried to guess her "son's" name, the first one she guessed was "Roy."
