Fox?

[akamummy]

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

Hmm, I'm not keen on the sexy connotations tbh...

awful. Really really awful

ha ha ha ha ha! love that. No.... its not.

zookeeper - what names do you like? I will be able to tell from your selection whether your opinion is worth counting or not... ha ha

Gus
Finnian
Hal
Knox
Keir
Dashiell
Flynn

I like celtic names that you might think are boring - wish I'd called mine Finbar.

You want Todd!
(old fashioned English name for a fox )

Fox is a fabulous name.

I love it. Fox. Awesome name.

No, no and nooooooooooo. What about John?

Like Redd but already have a Ruby and people will think I have a theme. Knox is cool but I'm not a Bradgelina fan.
Tate, Donovan and Woody are yuck. So are Dashiell, Keir, Hal and Gus. I dont feel strongly either way about Flynn or Finnian so that rules them out automatically.
Is Tiger a boys name?

I like John too

JOHN????? Are you serious? That is about the most dull and boring name out there.

PMSL at the Wolfie Smith confusion earlier in the thread

Really, really dislike Fox. Imagine calling him in from your garden when he's 3 years old..."Fox....Fox...Oh Foxy...FOX WILL YOU COME IN NOW PLEASE"

You'll have a whole fecking skulk of the blighters at your door!

Definitely Murray

Actually I can really imagine a three-year-old Fox. And also a teenage Fox (v.cool) and even an adult Fox with a great job. Fox Butterfield for example.... award-winning journalist for the New York Times. And my Fox will have two journalists for parents so he may go on to do the same. Would work well I think.
Alternatively he can always go on the hunt for aliens I suppose.

Well, Tiger Woods was actually christened Eldrick Tont Woods, so you could always call your DS Eldrick Better than Fox. For fox sake, anything is better than Fox. Unless of course it forms part of your MN nickname TheCrackFox.

Heated - very funny. Ruby and a Murray. Good one!

Rindercella - I can't find anything better than Fox. What are your suggestions? Bet you are a mum to a John, a Richard or a Barry aren't you? pmsl

Can't imagine hollering it in the park myself, and it does have quite a high ponce factor - but hey, it's you that has to holler it. If you like it then go for it.

That's my son's name and we have never met another one (child that is!)

Hahaha. No, I'm not actually, My DD has (imo of course) a beautiful name

Imo (of course), it is a pretentious name, and once which your DS will not thank you for...not when he's 3, not when he's 15 and certainly not when he's 30, journalist or not

cece - oh dear. Sorry. I suppose you have to have a thick skin on here.

But John is a bloody awful name. It conjours up images of balding, middle-aged grey-faced men.
