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

Why?

I was in Primark the other day and someone was shouting a boy called wolf. Don't like wolf but I do like wolfgang

Amazing! Wish I had a fox! Go for it. Otis is awful!

It's an old thread but I was googling "boys name fox" and it came up. I really love it. Others we love are Rex and James

We liked Fox too, but dc1 is Meg, so shouting Meg an Fox in the park might have raised a few dad's hopes unecessarily. Then we toyed with using it as a middle name, but settled on MN Leo instead (as DD said DS was "handsome as a lion")

Ooops should have checked the date!

He will be a 4 year old Cedric by now!

PooDogMillionaire · 06/02/2016 21:20

Yep I like it!

PooDogMillionaire · 06/02/2016 21:21

Eek, old thread

I know a Fox!! He is 3, I can't help thinking you have to be quite...umm...outgoing to suit the name and he isn't. Although obviously he is only 3.

I actually quite like it.

I'm a long time X Files fan so theoretically I love the name Fox.

In reality though it doesn't sound great. Even Fox Mulder hates his name.

Using it on the hope that no-one will think of the X Files in 20 years time is a really bad idea. XF started in 1993, 23 years later it's on again and judging by worldwide ratings of 50 million another 20 years seems more than plausible.
