I like Abigail, not keen on the others. Abigail means fathers joy which I think is lovely.

Lunastarfish · 01/10/2015 13:44

Eva Fox has a nice ring to it. I'm not mad on Imogen and Abigail will be shortened

rosieliveson1 · 01/10/2015 13:46

I like them all but would assume fox was a boy.

NickNacks · 01/10/2015 13:52

Assume Fox was a boy???

It's a surname! How can you assume anyone's sex from their surname? Baffled!

I met an 80 year old called Eva Fox and thought it was the coolest name I've ever heard! It sounds glamorous and refined. That's my vote!

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 01/10/2015 14:48

Eva fox is fab!

helentheheron · 01/10/2015 14:50

Another vote for Eva Fox. So cool.

Tiggeryoubastard · 01/10/2015 14:51

I have 'Man' in my surname. Does that mean I'm male? Hmm

Sophronia · 01/10/2015 15:19

Eva Fox

celtictoast · 01/10/2015 16:56

Abigail

helentheheron · 01/10/2015 17:39

I'm pretty sure rosie just misread the op..

PallasCat · 01/10/2015 18:26

Eva Fox hands down. Super cool.

NerrSnerr · 01/10/2015 18:38

I like Eva and Abigail.

rosieliveson1 · 01/10/2015 18:47

Oh yes sorry. I misread Fox as the first name on the list Blush
I really like Eva Fox. Sounds fab!

ooooh thank-you ladies, lots of positivity for Eva, wasn't sure it would work with both being short names.

Eva Fox

Daphnedolittle · 01/10/2015 19:17

With Eva Fox I struggle to say the F so soon after the V but that's clearly just me!

Vixxfacee · 01/10/2015 19:18

Eva or Imogen are really pretty.

Francescal88 · 01/10/2015 19:22

Imogen Fox sounds like a supermodel, or an actress!

Onedirectionarestillloved · 01/10/2015 22:46

Eva
Then Abigail then Imogen.

clarabellski · 02/10/2015 14:43

Eva, although short, has 2 syllables so the name would not be that short IYSWIM.

I grew up with one syllable first and second name. I was happy to take my DH's name when I got married to gain an extra syllable!

In any case, put any name with 'Fox' and it sounds rather cool. But Eva Fox is the coolest of the 3 you listed. I think it is the Frenchness of it.

Enkopkaffetak · 02/10/2015 14:54

Imogen or Abigail IMO

oh it's so hard to choose!!!! I'd almost choosen Imogen may fox as worried Eva was too short but happy to see so much positivity. My Nan was Eva May so it's now made my decision harder haha Ilike Eva May Fox or Eva Josephine(mum's name) Fox.
I think Imogen is so pretty & probably less popular(for now) than Eva, but still think Eva is a classic name & hopefully neither are a modern trend are they????

I like Josephine as a middle name. Eva Josephine or Abigail Josephine.
