John Knox.

Like saying 'I am a fervent Protestant!' Very very loudly.

It's a no from me.

No. Horrible snotty private school in Sydney with a record for sexual abuse.

Hmm. I think it's more of a sound than a name. It's short on character imo.

I rather like it. "Out there" but not nuts.

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

As in John Knox?

That's a erm, bold choice...

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

I thought of Fox in Socks too.

And then of Knock Knock jokes.

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.

Ha ha. No.

First thought was John.

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

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

Nonameyet1 · 01/09/2016 20:03

Not for me either!

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.

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