Fox

[2018wedding]

Thoughts on Fox as a middle name for DS? I think it’s too out there for a first but DH loves it so considering for a middle name and wanted opinions

Not keen honestly.

It has connotations of mange and slyness to me.

Either that or the rabid right wing broadcasting network.

It's a bit like calling your child Camel or Cane Toad. The name of an animal which is deemed by many to be a pest.

(And I am not one of those people - but I know many people who hate foxes with a passion for what they do to wildlife and stock).

Family surname used as a middle name, perfectly fine.

I like it Op very much so

Awful. Speaking as a frequent victim of urban fox poo and bin raiding.

I'm not against animal names but fox is too associated with "foxy"

As someone said before, it’s a perfectly reasonable first or middle name here in North America. We had to talk to future SIL out of using it for a DC because of our last name.. Hunter. She hadn’t apparently thought through the whole name

I like it.

I love it!

It's our sons middle name so I love it. He had a tough start and we weren't sure he was going to make it and I always think of foxes as survivors.

His twin sister also has a nature middle name and when I told my friend she asked me if I thought I was naming cats

Thanks for responses everyone, really helpful! Showed me how much I love it because even ‘mange’ and ‘cane toad’ made me laugh rather than put me off
