We need a unique name to go with his sisters name. What are your thoughts on our short list?
Fox Harvey
Chip Arthur
Rex William

I don't like Chip, unless you're American.
What about Austin?
Dashiell?
Rex and Fox are okay- will you double-barrell them, like DD's name?

stellinaa · 03/04/2018 12:40

Favourite would be Fox Harvey, though Harvey Fox would sound better imo Smile

shouldHAVEcouldHAVE · 03/04/2018 12:40

Fox Harvey is really cool.

I know a boy called Rex and he’s lovely but my Gran used to have dog called Rex so makes me think of dogs.

Chip- please don’t.

MammieBear · 03/04/2018 12:50

Fox Harvey goes best with sisters name.

Winterfield · 03/04/2018 13:00

Rex William

KellyBailey · 03/04/2018 13:01

Not Chip, Dixie and Chip sound like a pair of cartoon mice.

RaininSummer · 03/04/2018 13:08

Not keen on Chip.

ReversingSnail · 03/04/2018 13:08

Rex William

Other ideas - Tyger, Rufus, Felix, Max, Leo.

Elementally · 03/04/2018 13:17

I'd say Rex is mainstream not unusual. Dixie-Rose sounds like it's from the Deep South so what about Tennessee?

Whatififall · 03/04/2018 13:23

Fox

RapunzelIsHere · 03/04/2018 16:28

Chip is a guniea pig's name.

I like Rex but it's not unique. It's quite popular now.

Love Fox.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/04/2018 17:02

I like Rex Harvey and Dixie-Rose.

Movablefeast · 03/04/2018 17:03

Red or Redvers are fun too.

Raines100 · 03/04/2018 17:08

Rex or Fox. Chip is cup from Beauty and the Beast

pieceofpurplesky · 03/04/2018 17:09

Dixie and Rex

ChocolateCrunch · 03/04/2018 17:56

Rex or Fox

How about Calvin, Ned, Sonny or Tate

starkid · 03/04/2018 18:06

I like Harvey and Rex from the names you mentioned

ButterflyOfFreedom · 03/04/2018 18:22

Fox Harvey or Harvey Fox!

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 03/04/2018 18:42

Love Fox Harvey.

Pompom42 · 03/04/2018 18:52

I like them all tbh
Also like Axl, Ace, Herbert & Ned

BrendasUmbrella · 03/04/2018 19:15

Chip Arthur will sound odd when you call him "Chi-parther!" It sounds like one very unusual name!

Of the three, I prefer Fox...

Enidblyton1 · 03/04/2018 19:31

I'm not fond of Chip - it's a fairly common shortening of Charles anyway, so not as unique as Dixie-Rose.

I like both Fox and Rex. No idea how popular Rex is, but I know two young Foxes, so I don't consider that to be a very unusual name either. How about Axel, if you like names with an X in them? That would get my vote, with Rex second.

YassQueen · 03/04/2018 20:27

I like Fox out of the three.

I second Enid, I like Axel. It goes well with Dixie.

Ikeameatballs · 03/04/2018 20:55

I like Fox Harvey best.

Other ideas:

Redwood
Wilbur
Eddison
Cooper
Miller
Nelson
Winston

Kittykatmacbill · 03/04/2018 21:43

Fox is the nicest of your suggestions but the Dashiell suggestion is a good one!
