Unfortunately with a first name as your surname I think they will
go through life with people assuming their name is Joseph Fox. Or maybe fortunately.

I know the name is ridiculous, its not my choice for a baby but she wont change her mind. I suggested it as a middle name instead and a more “normal” first name but nope, I just get called controlling

The jokey suggestions aren't helpful.

With an unusual name, I would pair it with something more traditional.

Fox Jonathan
Fox Alexander
Fox Edward
Fox Matthew
Fox Oliver

Glove? No but seriously, Fox isn't that weird these days so don't worry too much. As for middle names, Gregory? Victor? Robin? Edward?

Fox Alexander sounds really nice. I like Fox and don't think it sounds ridiculous for any X Files fan

Is Fox a male name or a female name?

Sorry should've said, it's a boy

I would agree with this. As for middle names I would suggest something more traditional incase he grows bored of being called Fox.

I like Fox Alexander

Offleyhoo · 13/02/2026 22:57

I guess something classic. I don't hear anyone making jokes about Bear Grylls and it's no different really.

Bear Grylls is his nickname. He isn't actually called Bear I believe his name is actually Edward.

Magnificentkitteh · 13/02/2026 22:58

I think you could definitely do worse than Fox. But I'd probably try and go for a classic/slightly pretentious middle name

Fox Rupert Joseph
Fox Meredith Joseph
Fox Llewellyn Joseph
Fox Marlborough Joseph

Etc

William?
