Boys name: Fox

[InTheHouseBored]

Found out I'm having another boy this week (my second). We really struggled tryna find a boys names even before we found out he was a boy.

I love Fox but can't bring myself to actually name my son that. Plus his last name will begin with F as well so really won't work, or will it? To me the alliteration makes him sound like a marvel superhero. Which I don't want.

Other options are:
Finley
Jaxxon
Creed
Emilio
River
Cullen
Rory
Louie
Sonny
Nico

We can't agree on any or find one that we like enough.

Any suggestions/opinions please??
TIA

I like Rory out of your list the most. I quite like Arlo too.

Teddy
Bobby
Ernie
Cody
Other suggestions? It’s too early for my mind to work.

Fox - No, it's an animal not a name
Finley- OK, prefer Finlay
Jaxxon - No, the spelling is horrific
Creed - No
Emilio - No
River - No
Cullen - No
Rory - Ok
Louie - Ok
Sonny - Ok
Nico - Ok

I don't love any of them but particularly dislike Jaxxon. I'm not a fan of surnames are first names but the spelling is awful here too. Louis is nicer than Louie. Sonny was popular a few years ago, it might be a bit dated now.

I like Arlo but it is incredibly popular right now and as your other names are less usual (except Louie) then that might bother you.

I like Fox but as you said not sure if I could use it.

From your list I like Finley and River. Love Marley as suggested by PP and I have a Caleb so a bit biased 😊

I’m due my second boy in September too and think we’re going to go with Elijah but also considered Ellis. Boys names are really tough!

Someone I know named her daughter Fox, I thought that is such a strange name to call your daughter but everyone has different tastes in names. It seems more acceptable now to have strange names.

Out of the list I like Rory and Louie.

Love Louis (pronounced Lewis not louie) love fox. Wouldn't have. But met an older handsome business man called fox and now love it

Hate arlo. It reminds me of a chavvy girl called Harlow and her mum bellowing 'arrrrlo'

Fox is cool.

Todd means fox if you wanted something more real name but similar.

@Brownyblonde but Louis is isn’t pronounced Lewis? If you want Lewis spell it Lewis

@buffalo my son is called Louis thankyou very much and we pronounce it Lewis. Not because I'm illiterate. Here's why...... In France L-O-U-I-S = 'louie' bring it back here to the UK and it translates to 'Lewis' in France... H-E-N-R-Y = (on-ree) in England we say 'Henry' if you want to keep the French roots and pronounce it 'louie' that's cool. But I prefer to pronounce 'Louis' Lewis is a surname

Last line meant to read the spelling 'Lewis' is actually a surname

Lewis can be either first or surname like most Scottish surnames. Very old tradition of giving a boy the mothers maiden surname as a first name

I don't like Fox. It's very trendy and comes across as very try hard to me. Fox is a very polarising name, but it's now in the top 500 and rising rapidly. I would imagine that Fox is a name where clusters form in certain areas, so if you are considering Fox, other parents in your area might be as well.

Yes that's right &@blackbear. I was just explaining my rationale to a previous poster on why I pronounce my son 'Lewis' who's name is 'Louis'

Finley - fine, at a push.
Jaxxon - fuck no.
Creed - this isn't a name. You aren't a Kardashian.
Emilio - only if you're Italian.
River - at a push.
Cullen - surname.
Rory - lovely.
Louie - nice.
Sonny - only as a nickname.
Nico - ok.

I'd stick with Fox.

Fox - pretentious
Finley - nice
Jaxxon - why the double X?? Spell it Jackson
Creed - lol
Emilio - are you Spanish? If not, pretentious
River - actually quite nice for an out there name
Cullen - twilight?
Rory - nice
Louie - spell it Louis but it's nice
Sonny - ok
Nico - ok

Anything but Jaxxon!

I just think Fox Mulder but I’m old (42)

Love Fox, I think it’s cool. I know a Wolf and a toddler called Bear and no one bats an eyelid round here at those.

‘tryna’ isn’t an actual word.

Fox - depends on the surname. He'll get called Foxy, For Fox' Sake jokes.
Finley - ok
Jaxxon - dreadful
Creed - dreadful
Emilio - Emilia is too popular
River - not sure
Cullen - no
Rory - fine
Louie - Louis is much better
Sonny - too nicknamey. A bit crap on a grown man
Nico - not keen

I dislike Arlo

I suggest Wolf.

I like Fox as a middle name say something like Elijah Fox...
How about Cosmo?

My fil is called Woolfe. It's an old family name and he's in his 90's.

Reynard.

Fox is a great name!

I quite like Creed. It does mean a belief system ( Credo) but I’d think of American cowboys or boxers.

Sonny and Louis have been done to death round hear. Yawn

As has Nico but I still quite like it because I knew a delightful one.

No to River. Definitely no to Jaxxon just for the x’s

The rest work if you are Scottish or Italian
