>I've read that they say it like "ro-i", but that sounds completely different
>from my name, can't they pronounce it like Americans do ?

Japanese can call you as "ROI" or "LOI". If you mean long vowel by "-" in "ro-i", I do not agree with the pronunciation.

>what do you think of my name Roy as a foreigner name ?

I think "Roy" is nice and easy to remember for most of Japanese people.
