Fox?

[akamummy]

Fox for a boy. Is this just too off-the-wall?

it was the mans name in x files wasn't it?

Yes, dear.

Yes it was. Hadn't thought of that.

As in Mulder?

Want something a bit quirky for a boy though. Nothing boring like James, Tom, Sam etc.... I want something different but not so different he will get bullied. Something cool.

Prefer Wolfie.

ooops crossed posts

thats it - fox mulder!
personally i think fox might get the p taken at school - sorry.

As in Wolfgang? Bit German (no offence to Germans).

There is a boy in Billy Elliot with this name at the moment. He claims his parents were big X files fans.

I am not one for outlandish names but I actually like this name.

we are not x file fans at all - just want something a bit different.

As in Smith.

Fox Smith? Who is he?

I don;t like it, sorry.

Sorry, Wolfie Smith aka Foxy.

Yes, Fox is too off the wall. He won't thank you for it.

No probs in primary but when he gets to big school he will be teased

(from someone who loves the name)

I like Fox and Wolf for boys.
I say go for it, people are very conservative regarding names on here

But really, what is the worst a kid could say about it? I mean, most kids get teased at some point. My name is Ellie - which is relatively normal, but I was Smelly, Belly, Jelly, anything that rhymed. I coped.

I don't think he will necessarily be teased. There are lots of children these days who are not named Emily or Jack.
Go for it

Thanks Mrs Ruffallo, I agree with you. There are a lot very boring names out there and I haven't come across anything I like more than Fox (maybe I should spell it Foxx?).

I do live in a part of London where crazy names abound so I don't think Fox will be the craziest one in his school.
I'm going to go for it I think ...

unless anyone has any good alternatives?

felix

Could you and he live with Foxy as a nn?

I had a cat called felix so that one is out. Like it though
