That's what Mark Owen of Take That fame has called his baby girl!

Definitely no to Fox for a girl - what is going on with people calling girls such masculine names at the moment Confused

I hope she changes it to India - much prettier IMO!

pantsonfiore nope. Blush

I don't think I could have taken him back if he was my partner. Too much about loss of trust :( I think I'd rather be alone.

I think India Fox Owen goes much better,i think of Mulder and Scully when i heard the name.I suppose each to their own.

paradisechick · 26/07/2012 07:46

I like it!

Lannie33 · 26/07/2012 02:34

Ewwwwwww. also that's just tempting fate to make her very un-foxy.

Margerykemp · 26/07/2012 02:15

Poor kid

msrantsalot · 26/07/2012 02:02

Fox Mulder, as in mulder and sculley. Hope shes not too "homely" poor kid

For the record, "squoosh", he certainly was not the object of my teenage longing. I was always a Barlow fan, myself! I think Mark has always come across as a lovely, down to earth bloke with a quirky northern voice. Always been a not so in the closet Take That fan. And, yes, it was outrageous what he did. But his 'poor' wife has chosen to go on and have a third child with him. I'm not (well probably am actually) making excuses for him, but have any of us been in the position he was in? Not sure I could have kept it all together, either. Good luck to them and their baby Fox Asia, Sky sports, or whatever her name is.

Ack! Awful.

shimmy0 · 25/07/2012 20:17

Typical bloody celebrity

RubyFakeNails · 25/07/2012 18:56

I like masculine girls names but I'm sure I've met or seen a boy called Fox, maybe its because its more an aggressive type animal.

India is nice though.

Francagoestohollywood · 25/07/2012 17:44

Lol, it does sound like police alphabet!

MammaTonic · 25/07/2012 17:38

Yes, and he's a fucking numpty!

Seriously, it's an awful name

MyMelody · 25/07/2012 17:37

Seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment with celebs going for masculine sounding girls names.

PuffPants · 25/07/2012 17:36

Hey Foxy baby!

? Doesn't sound quite right, does it?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 25/07/2012 17:36

Presumably they would have gone for Foxtrot Oscar for a boy.

singaporeswing · 25/07/2012 17:32

His eldest is Elwood and the middle one is Willow so I just assumed they would be going along with the "L" "O" "W" type theme. Fox sound quite short and sharp compared to her siblings' names and sounds very masculine.

PantsOnFiore · 25/07/2012 17:32

does sound like 'Tango Bravo' or something...

Lisaro - you don't know who he is??? Shock

squoosh · 25/07/2012 17:27

He always looked as though butter wouldn't melt either. That must be why all these women fell for it.

lisaro · 25/07/2012 17:24

Not sure who he is, but that 'name' is bloody awful!

Not keen on Fox either, especially for a girl, she'll need to be a stunning woman to carry off that name

squoosh · 25/07/2012 17:20

People tend to retain a soft spot for the object of their teenage longing.

Personally he's always been too pixie-like for my tastes.

5madthings · 25/07/2012 17:19

is this with his girlfriend/partner who he cheated on, or has he got a new partner, i think they already had 2 boys?

anyway i like fox but would say its for a boy, india is fine tho :)
