Fox as a name?

Has anyone ever heard of someone naming a boy Fox ? Friend wants to use this but not sure it’s a good idea. It’s their choice obviously but would anyone say anything ?

Love it ....Fox Mulder

If dd were a boy then Fox was too of my list. I really like it as a name. Unusual but not too weird. And it works for Mulder

I think it was very popular in East London about 8 yrs ago. Probably considered a bit passè there now.

It's stupid imo. As are Bear and Tiger.

I know a five year old girl called Fox. It really suits her.

bonfireheart · 16/09/2018 12:35

Bears are considered cute. Tiger as strong.
"Fox" just makes me think cunning n sly.

Interesting question about what makes a name? All names were once made up or created!

QuestionableMouse · 16/09/2018 12:21

No.

Fox is not a name.

Sunflower321 · 16/09/2018 12:20

Not that different to Bear or Tiger, both of which are us d for boys.
