HelpRe: Gerard and Renard
in reply to a message by Joiya
And Fox is a perfectly ordinary English surname! Though I've never seen it used as a fn for that or any other reason. Honestly, in today's world I don't think most people would turn a hair, though the French are more traditionally-minded or just more fussy than us Anglophones. Do foxes even happen where you live? Where I am, we only have jackals.

We DO have foxes. But only because about 75 years ago they let a bunch of them loose in the forests around here to take care of some other problem-animal population.
There is a big whole story my Granfather used to tell me every time we drove by the wood entry where they let them go. He remembered it. Now I feel aweful I forgot the story - but super excited that I kind've have a reason to name a kid "fox"!
Ha.
I actually think I might ask a few French friends if it's too weird, if we end up pregnant with a boy.
