Mumsnetters please help - our baby is due is just a few weeks and me and my partner can't agree on a boys name!

We are looking for a traditional but unusual boys name - I loved theodore, jasper and Ezra, he loves Freddie which I'm.just not keen on.

I'd like a something that can be shortned to a nice nickname. Any ideas??

Please avoid Redd Fox!!! I know someone with the surname "Fox" and they were tempted to call their child Redd Grin

I second Monty or Harrison.

Chottie · 12/01/2018 18:22

No, no, no - Monty Fox please....... :)

I think any of the above would work well with Fox I was tempted to put Wolf Wink

If you think Harrison fox is to near Harrison Ford because you don't want him bombarded with the oh like .... are you named after .... you might want to avoid these names to

James Fox (known for thoroughly modern Millie, remains of the day, Charlie and the chocolate factory, Lewis, New tricks, death in paradise)

Laurence Fox (James' son and Hathaway in Lewis)

Edward fox (James' brother, the jackal in day of the jackal amongst others)

Freddie fox (Edwards son and in three musketteers)

These however seem to be the sort of traditional strong names you want.

Compared to them I don't think Harrison fox would get oh like the actor at all.

Harry Fox is superb! Harrison Fox too.

Chottie · 12/01/2018 01:31

It just has to be Monty .............. :)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/01/2018 01:27

Harrison Fox (Harry), is great !

Mine is shortened but spells it Harri.

Dixiestampsagain · 12/01/2018 00:48

I love Harrison Fox!! (I may be slightly biased with the name Harrison!!) it goes way better with your surname than mine and I’m slightly jealous!

Buntysoven · 12/01/2018 00:46

Harry Fox is awesome!
