What could Box be short for?

I saw the name Box suggested on another thread and love it. However DH thinks we may need a longer name on the birth certificate. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, should we go for Boxx or just stick with the traditional spelling?

If there are any Irish family links, Boxty is cute!

Muddiboots, if we'd followed that policy, DS2 would have been Poobum or similar. DS1 was going through a scatological toddler phase when his brother arrived.

You may laugh but there is a boy in my sons year at school called " box " that's it, not short for anything. Parents let each child name the subsequent one, hence one child with normal name, rest have very " unusual " names

Or an archeologist called Box has rocks. Ok I'm getting a tad carried away

Or a sexual health doctor called Box blocks cocks

Sidge · 05/01/2015 22:15

He should be a geologist called Box of Rocks.

LineRunner · 05/01/2015 21:55

Or he can open a hair salon called Box has Locks

GlitzAndGigglesx · 05/01/2015 21:50

If he ever becomes a locksmith his company can be called 'Box has lox'

Fozzleyplum · 05/01/2015 21:48

"Box" as in an alternative slang word for "fanjo"? Hmmm... A wind up methinks.
