I actually quite like it. But I somehow sense it is wrong. What do you all think? I previous choice was Otis.

I wanted to call our baby Badger. I have been overruled. I like Fox as well.

makes me think of the x files - sorry

wasnt fox the christen name of mulder in the x files?

Otis is great. Fox definitely = X Files!

Another one for the X-Files I'm afraid although a new generation probably won't make the same associations. I quite like it.

Personally I prefer Wolf if you`re going for an animal theme.

Otis always makes me think of earache.

It could be worse!

Ooh I seen a birth announcement in our local paper today baby was xxxx fox as a middle name.

I like Fox - first thought was, how cute

How about Todd..I'm sure it means Fox...

But i have actually got Wolf on my list

I said recently that our 4 boys should have been Wolf, Bear, Raven and Griffin - DH was about to have me committed .

OP, I like Fox - cute, clever and brave.

Btw, we have very, very conventional names...

No. They carry diseases and eat out of bins. If you must name your child after an animal call him Eagle or Lion or Panther or something.

I know a little boy called Fox, he's lovely though it's not a name I would have gone for.

Think I do prefer Fox to Wolf on the whole. Thanks PartialToACupOfMilo ... funnily enough Milo was on our list! Didn't realize it was a chocolatey drink till I googled just now

Regarding middle names - if using Fox at all, may as well go the whole hog I think (no animal pun intended)

I really like Fox. Would probably use it as a middle name though.

I have no idea why but I actually quite like it and I am very dull about names!!

Your husband sounds a bit of a beaver!

makes me think of a right wing media outlet

Do it!

I prefer wolf or bear

No, sorry.

If dh like so much,he can change to Fox
It's wanky and trying too hard

For Fox sake, don't.
