Middle names for Fox

[crimsonowl]

firstly i dont want any comments on the name this is dd’s baby, ive suggested other names but she wont budge from Fox and has bought personalised things etc

She hasnt got a middle name in mind, our surname in Joseph and shes out of ideas

Any ideas will be appreciated

Because Bear is not his actual name.

The baby is DD’s so really my opinion doesn't matter and I dont want to keep pushing over a name. She's had her heart set on it ever since she found out he was a boy and even telling her a teen/adult might not like being called fox she says it'll be different in x years and other babies are called bear etc so she should be able to call him fox

Thank you everyone for the serious suggestions, I do like Fox Alexander and Fox Sebastian, ill suggest to dd.

Agree, Fox Alexander is a strong name

he’ll be calling himself Alex by the time he’s 5, but don’t tell your daughter that xx

Fox is out there but pretty cool.

Alexander is a great shout.

Elliot
Tobias
Harris

Oh, and some people on this thread are dicks and not as funny as they think they are.

Fox is fine.
Fox Alexander is great.
He'll be fine. There's far worse names..

I’m guessing she’s a fan of The X Files?

Fox probably won’t seem as ‘out there’ to other children nowadays, and I did meet one baby boy called Fox a few years ago. I’d suggest a traditional name as the middle name. Alexander would work well. Fox Mulder from the X Files has the middle name William, which also sounds good.

I think Fox is a great name! What's so bad about being unusual?

Fox Alexander sounds good I think, and Fox Oliver.

Does she actually want a middle name and has she asked you for your suggestions OP?

I wouldn't go for Alexander because of the initials btw

My choice too! 😁

Fox is fine, and other kids his age won’t bat an eyelid - there is much more variety in names these days than when we were kids.

I think a two-syllable name works best between Fox and Joseph - Matthew, Daniel, Henry, David?

It can only be Cub surely.

I actually quite like Fox and am usually one for
more traditional names.

I would go more traditional as a middle name though
Alexander
Arthur
Henry

Does he need a middle name ?

Fox Alexander is great. I like the 2 x sounds. I don’t like fox Sebastian as much because the names blend together more.

other possibilities

Fox Harrison
Fox Benjamin
Fox Theodore
Fox Elijah
Fox Macauley

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I actually think 'Fox Joseph' with no middle name sounds quite chic

William.

I think the name is fine. With the surname, they might find people mix them up and think he's Joseph Fox.

Oh I wouldn't worry about it too much OP. I called my son an uncommon name and had no end of raised eyebrows.
Right from baby group we came across all sorts of (in my opinion) strange names plus we live in a very multi-cultural area so there were those difficult to pronounce names too.
I think all babies grow into their names and very soon you'll be glad he's named something fairly unique. Embrace the name with your DD.

Something normal so he can use it later in life instead of his ridiculous forename. I wish people would remember that babies grow up into adults who have to apply for jobs, meet a partner etc.

James, John, Adam… something like that

I love the first name Fox
Fox Joseph works lovely as it is
I do think Kit is nice for a middle name

It’s not that ridiculous at all, and I’m old!

I think a middle name starting with a vowel works well after the X.

I like Fox Edward, Fox Andrew or Fox Oliver.

I love the name Sebastian, but don’t think the S follows on well from the X.

I also like the name Alexander, but think it’s too long compared with the short first name and fairly short surname.

I think a really, REALLY old fashioned name would work well. Medieval, even. Cedric, Alaric, Benedict, Durand. That kind of thing.
