If your surname was 🦊 what boy’s name would you pick?

Just that really. Looking to name DS2 and curious about what you’d choose. He’ll most likely be fair with blue eyes and blonde/red hair, if that makes a difference.

I've just checked and the Fox-Wilde thread was from 2012

Here is the thread.

Felix Fox. That would be an amazing name.

I think Fox is a fantastic surname. There was a MN thread about names a good few years ago and the OPs surname was Fox-Wild. It's been my dream surname ever since 😅

Interestingly none of you have picked DS’s name or any of the names on our shortlist- maybe they don’t go 😂.

Reuben has come up a few times and was the front runner for DS1 but just didn’t suit him, we haven’t put it down for DS2 because if he’s anything like his brother I just can’t imagine it.
