Well when you call them it'll sound like you're yelling for film star Megan Fox.

Sorry Grin

I think no.
But out of interest is it for a boy or girl?

I love it...probably comes from when I was a bit obsessed with the x files! I've suggested it when I've had my little ones but we have had girls

Wishfulmakeupping · 17/07/2014 21:16

Travis is so much better

Megan Fox Grin

I have a friend who named her son Fox, it really suits him. I've also got a friend who named his son Wolf (they're English, not German) and it absolutely suits him too.

Travis Fox is kinda cool.
I'm still not sure though, makes me think of the animals of farthing wood Grin

ThursdayLast · 17/07/2014 21:18

I love Travis actually

MrsBungle · 17/07/2014 21:18

I have a real soft spot for fox (also an x files fan!) but I don't think it goes with meg.

Travis is nice.

I love fox for a boy, and I think it goes great with meg.

Dd2 (12) has a female friend named Fox. It works well but we live in London in a very international area so there are lots of non-traditional, not English names.

IHeartKingThistle · 17/07/2014 21:21

Travis Fox works.

Lilicat1013 · 17/07/2014 21:24

Do it!

I am a terrible influence, I am a huge X Files fan and was tempted to name one of my boys Fox. I named my eldest William instead (Mulder's middle name).

I would be delighted to meet a little child called Fox and would assume one of the parents is an X-Phile.

wheretoyougonow · 17/07/2014 21:26

Be prepared for people to sing 'what would the fox say...!'

FairPhyllis · 17/07/2014 21:28

Says 'Fox Mulder' fan to me.

mummaduke · 17/07/2014 21:30

I know a baby boy called Fox. Love it!

Trinpy · 17/07/2014 21:30

I know a Fox. I was a bit Hmm when I first heard it, but I quite like it now and it does suit him.

Not so keen on Travis.

DramaAlpaca · 17/07/2014 21:32

I think it would be a very cool middle name.

Not so good as a first name.

Littlestar3432 · 17/07/2014 21:54

My nephew is fox and it suits him perfectly. Although unsure initially everyone loves it now x

Gileswithachainsaw · 17/07/2014 21:55

Massive x file fan

Travis is fab
