John Knox.

Like saying 'I am a fervent Protestant!' Very very loudly.

It's a no from me.

Twooter · 02/09/2016 06:24

Amanda here too

Florrieboo · 02/09/2016 05:34

No. Horrible snotty private school in Sydney with a record for sexual abuse.

Fort knox?
Cardiff Prison is on Knox Road..

MakemineaGandT · 01/09/2016 22:11

Awful

Kr1stina · 01/09/2016 22:09

I must be old because I thought of ' opportunity ' Wink

villainousbroodmare · 01/09/2016 22:06

Hmm. I think it's more of a sound than a name. It's short on character imo.

EssentialHummus · 01/09/2016 21:20

I rather like it. "Out there" but not nuts.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 01/09/2016 21:14

Q.Knox?
A.Amanda.

SerenDippitee · 01/09/2016 21:08

Knock knock jokes in primary school.

Knob jokes in secondary school.

I prefer lumos Grin
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

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 01/09/2016 20:23

No.
Max?
Felix?

Eigg · 01/09/2016 20:22

As in John Knox?

That's a erm, bold choice...

Pinklily1 · 01/09/2016 20:20

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

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 01/09/2016 20:19

I thought of Fox in Socks too.

And then of Knock Knock jokes.

DaleTremont · 01/09/2016 20:16

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.

heron98 · 01/09/2016 20:10

Ha ha. No.

Jeannekepis · 01/09/2016 20:09

First thought was John.

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

happystory · 01/09/2016 20:05

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

Nonameyet1 · 01/09/2016 20:03

Not for me either!

ineedamoreadultieradult · 01/09/2016 20:00

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.

I like it. Is it Scottish?

MewlingQuim · 01/09/2016 19:56

Knox in box, fox in socks Grin

ohidoliketobe · 01/09/2016 19:55

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