Thoughts on Fox?

[c307]

Fox for a boy? Thoughts?

I don't like it I'm afraid. Sounds too hipster/trying to be unique etc.

It's cute but it's not a name you can actually use.

I really think you need to imagine what is going to be like to be saddled with a 'trendy' 'unique' name like that.
I know a Striker, an Ace and a Fox and people just roll their eyes when they hear the names. And they are children, imagine having to introduce yourself with one of those names at a business Ed's meeting, people will struggle to take them seriously.

Really really stupid. Don't ruin your sons life chances with this name please.

Use it as a nickname if you like it, rather than a given name.

Not my taste

I'm assuming your surname isn't Hunter

I know a boy called Fox. Works well for him.

Wolfgang? At least it's a name

Fox Mulder.

I did meet one baby called Fox at baby groups, but haven’t met another since. It does come across as hipster/ trying hard to be unique to me, but I suppose it depends where you live - are those sort of names quite popular in your area?

Fox?? How about Stag, Badger, Mole and Toad?! These are all characters in Farthing Wood (not children)>

Too much potential for deliberate mispronunciation by stupid teenage classmates.

I wouldn't be surprised to meet a baby Fox, but personally I hate it because it sounds too much like a swear word.

I like it

Only if your surname is Mulder

As a middle name it’s fine. I know one - in his late 20s now.

Please don’t. Kids at school will call him Fux.

I know a Bear and used to know a Wolfie. I like Fox, my favourite of all the animal names trend.
Surely if people suggest Robin and Wren as names, Fox isn’t ‘ridiculous’.

It’s not a name, so no.

Names evolve and new ones are 'added' constantly. I know a Tiger and a Wolf for example.

I think Fox is quite cool actually.

@Violetlavenders You’ve just reminded me that I also know a Tyger.

I like it. Unless you call your child Adolf or something on a par you will not be ruining your child’s life. Even if it is beloved of hipsters ( so what??) all that will happen is there will probably be more of them around. For some reason it’s OK if it’s Oliver or Joshua etc which qualifies as a “ real” name and is therefore judged appropriate.

Cute sound but very brave (so I don't think I could do it personally, in case my son hated that fact it was so unusual). Maybe you could put something more "everyday" on the BC - like Felix or even Freddie/Frederick but call him Fox as a nn?

I like it but I'm an x-files fan so no.

I know of an 18 year old called Henry with Fox as his middle name as his mum loved the name so much but daren't use it for the first name. Quite cool and acceptable as a middle name I think.
