No

duskonthelawn · 01/09/2016 19:49

I prefer lumos Grin

PotatoBread · 01/09/2016 19:49

Automatically reminds me of Amanda. It's a no from me.

LadyMaryofDownt0n · 01/09/2016 19:49

Sorry, I don't like it & isualky am all over unusual names.

Ktay · 01/09/2016 19:50

Isn't one of the jolie-Pitts a Knox? Not that they have a monopoly on the name of course!

Loyly · 01/09/2016 19:50

Also thought of Amanda Knox Nope.

VanessaBet · 01/09/2016 19:53

Fox in socks or Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt's son both come to mind.

It still doesn't quite seem like a real name to me, more surname-y, but that's popular in America.

LoraLoves · 01/09/2016 19:54

Sassy comes to mind! I love the feel and it is nice. The one Knox I know is very sassy.

ohidoliketobe · 01/09/2016 19:55

Immediate thought was Amanda Knox. But probably won't be an issue with the child's peer group.

MewlingQuim · 01/09/2016 19:56

Knox in box, fox in socks Grin

RandomDent · 01/09/2016 19:57

I like it. Is it Scottish?

Doverrr · 01/09/2016 19:58

Yes Smile

No. The first thought was Amanda Knox obviously this will connection will fade over time but even without that connection I still don't like it.

Nonameyet1 · 01/09/2016 20:03

Not for me either!

happystory · 01/09/2016 20:05

I think at school it is just too likely to be mocked

Jeannekepis · 01/09/2016 20:09

First thought was John.

Knox not great IMO. I just imagine lots of bad 'knocks' base jokes.

heron98 · 01/09/2016 20:10

Ha ha. No.

DaleTremont · 01/09/2016 20:16

I like it, but Dead Poets Society is one of my favourite films. The Amanda Knox link didn't occur to me at all until it was mentioned here.

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 01/09/2016 20:19

I thought of Fox in Socks too.

And then of Knock Knock jokes.

Pinklily1 · 01/09/2016 20:20

Also makes me think of Amanda Knox so for that reason would be a no for me.

Eigg · 01/09/2016 20:22

As in John Knox?

That's a erm, bold choice...

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 01/09/2016 20:23

No.
Max?
Felix?

You are my favourite poster! ( even though it's Nox)

Knox is quite a common surname, I know quite a few people with this surname ( who aren't related)
The only think I like about it is that it has the letter X

SerenDippitee · 01/09/2016 21:08

Knock knock jokes in primary school.

Knob jokes in secondary school.
