What could Box be short for?

I saw the name Box suggested on another thread and love it. However DH thinks we may need a longer name on the birth certificate. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, should we go for Boxx or just stick with the traditional spelling?

Boxen is an imaginary world created by C S Lewis when he was a kid. You could call him that. And for that reason.
