Lloyd or Floyd?

In the beginning I thought the neighbor’s name was Lloyd but BFF insisted it was Floyd. Now we compromise and call him Oyd, and not just between ourselves. On the occasions when the man is due a shout out, we swallow the beginning of the name but end it firmly. This innocent social deception has been going on way too long for us to comfortably ask Oyd again what his name is.

He´s likely named Boyd.

Actually, it's Darren. I just found out when he wrote me a check for backing into our car. We were uncertain if his name was Darren or Daryl. I didn't want to give his name away in the post.
