Fox

[NannyPear]

Baby boy due today and still don't have a name decided. Don't even have a shortlist to "see what he looks like". Came across this name last night and I kinda love it but don't know if I'm having a moment of madness because I don't love anything else and I'm climbing the walls waiting for him to arrive.

What are your thoughts?? Have a toddler called Eli, if that helps.

No, sounds like you're trying to be cool but you're actually being a dick. Give him Fox as a nn

I love it but I do have a Bear
My nephew is called River which I also really like

Good god just no. Its like that townies celeb and Andy carrol who have named their child Wolfie Nine!!

Wtaf? It's not even a name. Poor kids

Nathaniel shortened to Nat.

Nat and Eli.

DH isn't mad keen anyway. I still like it :)

I think it's normal that people want their kids names to match/go nicely in some way.

MN really likes the name Kit, I've noticed.

I really like Nathaniel, Casper and Felix but DH veto'd those ages ago 🙄

I like it. But I'm another X-Files fan, which may explain it.

I love Fox, I know a very handsome 30 something old fox who suits the name very well.

Other ideas:
Kit, Bodhi, Gage, Forest, Parker, River

Leon?

Give me a George any day over a Devlin, Gage, Rafe or Bear!

You and half the population GreyGardens88

I’ve taught a couples of Foxes (?) both from normal, middle class families. I like it.

I love it.
Foxes aren't vermin either PP.

@Ipanema01 you have a list of boys names but with a girls name in it? (Scout)

I love Kit

Def not Fox OP. It’s a really try hard name.

Go a bit left field but not so weird that it stands out a mile, esp when you already have an Eli which is unusual but not bizarre.

Leon
Dominic
Seb
Dashielle
Gray
Troy
Arno
Edgar
Billy

I love it! Met brothers called Phoenix and Fox the other day. Told my OH and he said he'd love to call our possible future son Fox also

Stiffasaboard yeah that's the problem. Eli isn't unusual but it's not popular either (never met another in almost 3 years). So I'm looking for the same kind of thing (though this wasn't my reasoning for considering Fox - I just like it!).

I appreciate all the suggestions everyone! You think you've considered them all but quite obviously not!

I love it. But i know it wouldnt be brave enough to give this to my child. Ive stuck with more conservative names when naming my 3.. Although if i loved it enough I would consider it as a middle name so if they wanted a more quirky name when they are older they could choose to use their middle name.

If your criteria is not unusual but also not popular one mum I met with the same criteria named her son 'Laurence'. I think that goes well with Eli. Good luck!

Feck, no.

I have too much to do with the real thing, mostly in the form of shit the dogs have rolled in.

As PP have said, Felix and Nat would both work well with Eli. So would Jake and Zac.

People always mention kit on these threads which is a dreadful name.
Not keen on Fox at all op sorry. It does sound London try hard, like atlas and Atticus!
Eli is lovely hope you find something you both agree on

Oh I love the name Laurie
Timeless and really underused

Laurie is terrible. Very wet!

Oh I love the name Laurie
Timeless and really underused

I agree. Gorgeous name.

What about Grey? Or Wes?

Im a massive x files fan so I personally think it's a v cool name and would assume you have the love for david duchovny that i do!

However i understand how people might not like it .
