Comments for the name Fox

Fox is the first name of Agent Mulder from the hit drama TV series "The X-Files."

Fox is the first name of the blond haired, blue eyed, pretty boy, hero of the hit soap opera "Passions."

Michael J. Fox is an actor who has been in many T.V. shows and movies. He's also an activist for Parkinson's research.

I love it. Not sure why.

I think it sounds really cool. I also think of Michael J. Fox instantly.

Instead of Michael J. Fox, I think of THE Fox, a character for video games or something.

Fox Butterfield is an author, and New York Times correspondent. There is a movie about the birth of his daughter called "Born Too Soon".

Very nice.

I actually like it, for some reason. Although, whenever I hear the word fox, I always think of Fawkes, the phoenix in the Harry Potter books.

This is the name of Fox McCloud, the anthropomorphic Fox, who stars in all StarFox videogames.

Foxxy/Foxy/Foxie can be pet forms.

Never in my life would I use the name of a channel that has such garbage on it as the crappy program Fox News. In American English, this is pronounced like the 3rd person present form of the f-word, and it's an animal.

Makes me think of the American "news" channel, so it's disgusting. Anyway, it's a horrible, childish, tacky name and sounds like a gross English word.

Actually, these comments about Fox Network are making me laugh quite loudly. Personally, I like the animals. It's a good middle name or surname. Overall, it's OK.

I love the name Fox for either gender. I love foxes, and would use it in honour of Michael J. Fox.

The recently-born son of celebrity-adored British fashion designer Alice Temperley is called "Fox London Temperley von Bennigsen Mackiewicz". A real mouthful but I really love that my favorite clothes-designer gave one of my top favorite names to her own child!

Most people think of Fox as a guys name, but I like it as a girls name as well. It's got power and a bit of sexiness. Though it's only my last name, I wouldn't mind it as a middle name or something.

This is definitely a guilty pleasure name for me. As people have pointed out before me, this name sounds like an unpleasant word, and reminds me of the horrible Fox News station. It's okay as a nickname, though.

Oh, and a (sort of) famous bearer of this name would be Fox Maharassa, a main character in the webcomic Friendly Hostility. In this case, it's used as a nickname, because his real name is Kailen.

It reminds me of both the channel and all the hilarious jokes made against it on Futurama, The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. So, I would never use the name. The actual animal is cool, though.

Fox sounds dumb as a given name. Foxes are thought of as sly in folklore, and the "news" channel Fox is quite awful.

There's a fairly famous comic strip called Foxtrot that follows the Fox family. Occasionally one of the characters is referred to as "The Fox".

It's a guilty pleasure.
Fox is pretty damn cool.

I have heard this used as a nickname for Francis. It could also work as a nickname for Frederick and Felix.
