Our surname is Fox...

[MsFox]

What do you think of Florence? The only response from family has been a raised eyebrows!

Any other suggestions most welcomed!

Might have to stamp my feet and stick with Florence. No others are coming close for me.

DH nn will be Flozza and not Flo anyway

DH said nn

Hermione Fox sounds brilliant

Carolina/Caroline

Romilly

Catherine

Louisa

Amanda

Phoebe

Bethany

Florence Fox sounds good to me. If thats the name you like stick with it.

Hey what a coincidence, my sis in law is Katrina Fox and her daughter is Rosie Fox and my cousin is Samantha!!

You could use Lisa - it means Fox in Russian (if you're tempted by that route). May have lots of Russian speakers sniggering though

How about Cecily?

Love Penelope Fox.

Still not seeing any I like.

Is Florence Fox really bad, or just a bit?!

I like Miranda Fox, but could become Randy Fox...

Florence Fox is a bit of a tongue-twister for me, somehow.

I think Florence Fox is a little hard to say, although I do adore the nae Florence.

DD's friend ahs the same surname and she is Phoebe - whoch although the same f soun, seems to work easier.

PlanetEarth - agree; I end up with Florence Flox

Unfortunately for me it increases the likelihood of distorting the vowel in the surname. I want to rhyme the "fox" bit with the "rence" bit. So it becomes Florence Fxx/Fux which isn't really very nice!

I feel like I know Hermione Fox - think that is a lovely name.

i think Florence Fox is lovely!

florentsfocs - think that's why it's so hard. Too many consonant sounds together.

I share Elephants' view on this it's the consonants in Florence Fox which make it feel like it's only one step away from a tongue-twister. I knew a Charlotte with the same surname, and I think that's fine it's the 'ntsf' which is hard work.

Other names I like:
Matilda
Martha
Hermione
Lily
Anna
Daisy

IME any name that ends in Fox will just be shortened to Foxy anyway!

Francesca Fox?

Hermione Fox is so good! Wish my surname was Fox!

Matilda is good too.

Emmeline
Amelia
Sophia
Eliza
Briony

I like Matilda...but then we end up with the Maddy/Mad Fox again?!

I can see what your saying about it sounding like a bit of tongue twister

I do really like Hermione Fox, and would love it on anyone elses child, but I don't think it suits our family IYSWIM. Also I think we'd get alot of "Oh, Harry Potter fans are you?"

We get the "Oh, Beatles fan's are you?" already because of Harrison and George!

Plus... Hermione and Harrison...? Really trying to like it, but just can't see it!

Herry and Harry - or Hermy and Harry - agree, doesn't work.

What about Caroline?
Or Joanna
Michaela

Or if you want to follow the Beatles theme:
Paula

Tanya
Annabel
