Name suggestions to go with Cox

34 replies

Seriously this classic English surname is a nightmare, every name I think of sounds like a playground bully’s dream! As in;
Alex (I licks), Hugo, Max, Isla (I love), any girls name ending in ‘belle’.

I like shortish, modernish names, cool for boys and pretty for girls, not too out there, avoiding top 10 if possible. Any suggestions?

I know an Emily and Zoe Cox, both seem ok to me.

Careful with the initials - BJ Cox would be unfortunate.

I was at school with a girl who's surname was sachs-cox.

Isabelle Cox sounds relatively sane by comparison.

Honestly, I grew up with very, very similar surname and didn't take a great deal of stick about it at school so don't overthink.it too much.

Just don't go with William or Richard if you have a boy!

Manon?

Loads of names go with Cox. And frankly regardless of the first name, people will be idiots about it (I know very well). But it’s a good surname. Short and snappy. Longer names tend to work better I.e. 2/3 syllables. Personally I would avoid names ending in x because they sound a bit clunky with the double x ending.

I once knew someone legitimately called jack Hiscock , nothing you've suggested is worse than that!

Gotta feel for the oblivious parents who dont consider the consequences or a mistake

"what do you mean aren't you worried he'll bullied at scho.....oh fuck...oops"
