Isn't one of the jolie-Pitts a Knox? Not that they have a monopoly on the name of course!

Fox in socks or Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt's son both come to mind.

It still doesn't quite seem like a real name to me, more surname-y, but that's popular in America.

Sassy comes to mind! I love the feel and it is nice. The one Knox I know is very sassy.

Immediate thought was Amanda Knox. But probably won't be an issue with the child's peer group.

No. The first thought was Amanda Knox obviously this will connection will fade over time but even without that connection I still don't like it.

Not for me either!

I think at school it is just too likely to be mocked

Jeannekepis · 01/09/2016 20:09

First thought was John.

Knox not great IMO. I just imagine lots of bad 'knocks' base jokes.

I like it, but Dead Poets Society is one of my favourite films. The Amanda Knox link didn't occur to me at all until it was mentioned here.

I thought of Fox in Socks too.

And then of Knock Knock jokes.

Also makes me think of Amanda Knox so for that reason would be a no for me.

As in John Knox?

That's a erm, bold choice...

You are my favourite poster! ( even though it's Nox)

Knox is quite a common surname, I know quite a few people with this surname ( who aren't related)
The only think I like about it is that it has the letter X

Knock knock jokes in primary school.
