My husband wants to call baby boy Fox??

[MyGoldenNotebook]

I actually quite like it. But I somehow sense it is wrong. What do you all think? I previous choice was Otis.

Imagine shouting Fox across a park, supermarket etc. It sounds like a certain expletive...

Do it, no-one will think of the X-Files in 20 years.

I really like it, and its on our list, but we will have to move first as the road we live on has fox in the title and it will sound a bit crap.

I can't believe anybody would consider this as a name, and I love wanky names.

It's ridiculous.

Fox?

Are people running out of unusual names ending in x?

What about Flex? Ibrox? Detox?

Awful please don't do it

I quite like it.

my sister was supposed to be badger.until my dad sobered up for a while and my mum put her foot down

just doooooooooooooont!
it would be refered to as fantastic mr fox or foxy lady(p.s,thanks stuck in my head!)

Why on earth would dh want to do that?

I know a little Fox, as well as a Tiger. And I think Jamie Oliver has a Bear.
Why not?

(but then I don't watch x files)

Otis much much better than Fox.

Cheesesarnie- first thing I thought was Foxy Lady! But the scene from Wayne's world

Fox is a surname, which is probably why it occurs as a middle name.

Let him change his own name to Fox and call your poor child something that won't be a burden and an embarrassment to him.

Fox? Badger??
Are you being serious?

There's another thread on the go about people commenting that names are dog's names (eg Rex / Benji etc)
Not sure what they would make of these suggestions!

These are not first names for human beings, please don't do this to your children.
[Otis makes me think of Timmy Time - I think he is an owl or something]

sub-waynes world has nothing on jimmi!

love tiger.if fox has a sibling can you call it tiger op?

Hi, golden don't know if you remember but I was your cycle buddy for a while on no brooking thread. Good to see you here! I like fox and Otis although neither are on my list. If you both like it go for it. :)

Hi wants I do remember! You must be due soon? I'm just coming up to 20 weeks. Think I'm gonna go for Otis actually as I'm just not sure about Fox but do love Otis. DH is saying I'm being a coward! But I don't think babynames should be a bravery contest:)

We don't actually know if it's a boy yet ... just getting excited for scan and both fully decided on girls name - Constance Emilia. Have strong boy feeling though ... whatever that means xx

Congrats! not far behind me then I am 25+3 weeks. We are having a boy:) love your girls name too,would she be nn connie?
Love to see you on no brooking pregnancy thread, that's where I spend most my time!

Constance Emilia is lovely! Girls names so much easier than boys!

Fox is okay, but, Wolfgang shortened to Wolf is fab!

No, dont do it!
Think of the poor kid!!

Why not use Tod, means Fox in some northern dialects!

I like Fox, and would have used it for our son if my husband hadn't vetoed it.

I did teach a Fox once. Nice lad, but bizarre name. didn't go well with Mackechnie (btw not his real surname ... wouldn't do that to anybody!)

Fox News.

Nooo!
