Fox?

[greenzebra]

My DH and I have been thinking about more unusal names and came up with Fox today, what you guys think. Can a kids have a name like Fox today?

No.

Double no.

And another no from me. So that's three no's then....

No

No. God, no. What are you thinking?

Boy or girl? Either way, my vote would be no, but I think it would be worse for a girl (thinking "foxy")

Imagine if he is a shy little boy with a big weird name he has to live up to.

He will not thank you for it in the long term.

Max
Rex
Alex

if you like the x bit and use Fox as a nickname but do not saddle him with an odd name forever.

Noooooooooo!

Funnily, I am watching X-Files right now. Fox Mulder isn't quite as sexy with a beard.

Oh and there's Fantastic Mr Fox - get your bandit hat out

I know someone who called their baby girl Fox and their surname was Hunter.

I do not jest.

There's also the character in Minette Walters' "Fox Evil".

I don't really like it as a name. You could try it as a nn? Maybe for Reynard?

for Fox sake, no!

You are obviously too young to know remember Citizen Smith or you would avoid it.

Citizen Smith? Wolfie

puddock

What about a normal first name starting with F, and middle name Xavier with Fox as a nickname?

Awful.

Sort of a cool nn, but not to be on the birth cert imo

I like it

but then I like Rainbow for a girl

Have you considered Felix?

Or you could use something like Frederick and use Fox as nn

In my head I like it.
In RL, not so much.

But in Citizen Smith wasn't it the girlfriend's mother who always called him Foxy instead of Wolfie

Was it?

Then greenzebra could reverse that, name him Wulfric and have Fox as the nn.

my hairdresser has a son called Fox and for the 7 years I have known her I have thought it was a cruel, ridiculous name. Unusual is nice, the name of an animal like that is not. What next, sisters called Bat and Lemur?????

For Fox sake, no! lol

Sorry, it is not a name for a human.

Why would you name a person that?
