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

Now if you were Irish you could go with Sake.

Fox Sake

Now tell her not to be so absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah, but sorry if I’m wrong she’s probably a young (slightly uneducated) mum? That’s what I’d assume.

Yeah no. It can't be that. I hadn't got to that! The other way round works AFJ though...and the family can still call him Fox and also on the forms from school he can ask to be known as Fox but his name is AFJ. But this can be confusing unless he's taught about that before starting school.

To all the people talking about his full initials...I don't think any of the people I went to school with knew my middle name, not even fairly close friends!

I have to imagine the initials he'd use would just be "FJ", surely?

If you use a middle name beginning with A, his initials will be FAJ

Yves. Fox Y. Jones.

Because she likes a name you don’t?

I hope that’s a joke and I’ve misread the tone.

Fox Oakley

I'm shocked at some of the comments. The name isn't particularly crazy or out there. We regularly meet kids at toddler groups called Bear, River, Fox etc and they're mainly older, middle class mums.

There was a little boy called Fox in my DD’s reception class back in 2004. I wouldn’t choose myself but it quite suited him.

I agree with those saying a longer middle name would be good, classic and with some syllables such as Christopher or Alexander. Then when he is a high court judge in later life he can adopt his classic middle name.

If it’s any consolation, when I was at school there was a boy called Wayne King. Fox is better than that, at least your DD has been thinking hard about it whereas Wayne’s parents didn’t think hard enough and failed in their duty of care!

Fox Jude Joseph
Fox Jake Joseph
Fox John Joseph

or another J name. I like the double initial.

Fox Benedict
Fox Hereward
Fox Cameron
Fox Edward

Lol. All the X-files fans rushing to the comments. This was probably in my baby names list as a teen tbf.

Ideally she should go for just a classic boys name, then Fox has some options when he gets older. David perhaps 😉

Although they did call him ‘spooky’ Mulder and there are a lot of Caspers’ around at the moment!

Alex, Eugene, Victor, Walter, Roland, Duane, Barry

Ontherun. Pronounce "onthe" as one syllable to make it fancy, if you like.

Really OP, this is not your baby, you don’t get to have an opinion on your daughter’s choice of name. No one except the baby’s parents should have an opinion. You had your chance to name your own baby. Let your daughter use the name she loves without comment.
Fox is a lovely name, it’s not common, but it is known. It’s no different to any of the other ‘nature’ names in use as first names.
Fox Joseph sounds strong, clear, natural.

If she has actually asked you for middle name suggestions, mine would be
Fox Ethan Joseph
Fox Gabriel Joseph
Fox Christopher Joseph

But if she hasn’t asked, keep your beak out!

Can you imagine her posting on here? “I’m expecting a baby boy soon and I’m so excited but also nervous and my mum keeps criticising my baby’s name so I don’t feel supported” Just be there for her and be supportive in her choices for her baby.

Sake?

Glove?

I know of a 12 year old called Fox
I dont think he has a middle name.

DC4 is due this spring and their middle name will be Fox (for either boy or girl). The first names we both like are Elijah, Sebastian, Noah, Emmett and Arlo.

I think they work well as middle names, too.

I wouldn't worry too much about being bullied for a name - I've seen plenty of children being bullied for "normal" names (Ben Dover comes to mind). A girl at my school was called Pebbles and was one of the popular girls.
Although my Mum used to ask me if she had any siblings called stone, rock or seashell 😁

I quite like the name 'Fox'. The name 'Wolf' seemed to be a popular name at some point.

Fox Alexander Joseph sounds lovely.

Fox Jasper Joseph
Fox Edward Joseph
Fox William Joseph
Fox Adam Joseph
Fox Oliver Joseph
Fox Indigo Joseph
Fox Reuben Joseph
Fox Roland Joseph
Fox Barnaby Joseph

I think she can't do better than Fox Alexander Joseph. The repeated X is great.

Yes but bear grylls name is Edward seemingly his name was shortened to teddy and his sister called him bear his parents didn't actually name him bear .a big difference

I know a family if redheads. Boy is called Fox.
