This name always makes me laugh. I have no idea why, but the way you say it just sounds so funny.

I can never hear this name without thinking of the character (from Dead Poets Society): a nice, passionate young man!

This name sounds very dorky, like the name of some annoying little kid or a stupid frat boy. Plus, it is pronounced just like 'knocks'.

Knox sounds like NOx (pronouced nawks) which is a term used in the oil & gas industry for emissions from combustion sources. Also a byproduct from car engines.

The name KNOX means "round hill". Why would someone give a child such a name? It is absolutely dorky. For Angelina and Brad - disappointed!

In Scotland at least this name will always be associated with John Knox, the Calvinist preacher who was one of the leaders of the Scottish reformation.

Can also mean "night" in Latin.

I thought "nox" meant night in Latin. But I might be mistaken.

Bernard Knox, literary scholar. He wrote prefaces for many of Robert Fagles' translations, such as the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid (they're both absolutely amazing!)
