Help! Surname proving a challenge...

[Mummybear8]

We are due to have our little boy in 9 weeks and are having an extremely hard time naming him. Our surname is Cox. I like it but oh my gosh it's so hard to find names that go with it that don't sound rude or ridiculous. I would like something a little bit different, I don't want a popular name like James or Daniel but on the other hand don't want anything too out there like Axl or Montgomery. Please no Hugo, Isaac or Max!

Suggest away!

I think a 'C' name would be ace with Cox - how about:

Casper
Christopher (nn Kit?)
Clayton

It's good to have a now syllable surname as the first name can be as long or short as you like!

*one, not now!

Doctor.... Sorry

Robin
Owen
Jonathan
Arran/Aaran
Joshua
Benjamin

Try to avoid names ending in a Ck sound is my advice.

Nathan
Oliver
Ryan
Gregory
Leo
Samuel
Elliott
Alfred (Alfie/Freddie)
Reuben

I know a Finlay with the same surname. I would say anything with two syllables would work well.

I feel your pain op! Guess what my DC's surname is?! We have a Jack but I understand that's very popular. I think it's quite a hard surname because it's quite short and sharp. However both my DCs have one syllable names so some would say they have short, sharp names.

We also liked: Lucas, Harry, Charlie. Again these are very popular. So I've not been much help but I agree the surname is hard! You're not alone!

What's wrong with Cox? I think it's fine, and has a cool "x"!

Amos?
Evan?
Kester?
Fraser?

Tom
Jacob
Zachary
Joshua

Ryan Cox
Findlay Cox
Daniel Cox
Aiden Cox
Benjamin Cox

I'm enjoying this I think you can get a lovely Solid name with Cox!

Rufus (maybe too out there)
Evan
Alfie
Jamie

Aaron Cox
Timothy Cox
Matthew Cox
Lewis Cox
Michael Cox
Andrew Cox
George Cox

Any of these work for you? All classics but not currently all that popular.

I would avoid names starting in A or C.

Joseph?

I know an Adam and a Brendan with same surname. Both sound fine.

Give him your surname instead.

Benjamin
Edward
James
Nathan

Simon Cox
Timothy Cox
Jacob Cox

Josiah
Edmond

Brian seems to have worked out ok!

Aaah, inspiration strikes, you could call him Professor

Sorry will take my coat and think on.

Sorry Unoriginal, but OP, please don't call him Michael...

The posters suggesting Aaron and Reunen really haven't thought this through ....

Matthew Charles.
His initials would be MCC and he could grow up to be a famous cricketer.
