Baby Names

Knox ?

What do you think of Knox for a boy?

It could be first or middle name, open to suggestions that would go with it.

DH's initials are BKH, so we were thinking Bradley Knox, which I feel is just okay. Not a requirement to start w B.

Re: Knox ?

  • Knox is one of those names that seems like it's trying too hard.  I am cringing a little as I type that, because I know that a lot of posters hate that sentiment, but I can't think of any other way to put it.

    I don't mind it in the MN spot.  Bradley Knox is nice.

  • I like Knox, it sounds good with your DD's name too.  Bradley Knox is cute but I almost prefer Knox as a first name.

  • I feel like Knox is too trendy sounding, and that it will be dated. I'd prefer it as a middle name.

  • It's the only name we've agreed on so far. Veteod from his list: Lincoln, Leo, Zane, Tristan, Peyton. And he has vetoed Bennett, Grant, Carson, Daniel. To name a few. For some reason he loves celebrity names. Leo- Leonard DiCaprio. Bradley- Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt. 

    I like William nn Liam or Will, and Henry... but they're much trendier than Knox, maybe saving one for boy #2. Very "prince-y" 

    Knox kind of honors UT football, and a four letter K word, like DH. And I only know one. Not worried about it being too trendy, because DD Harper's name got very popular this year, but no I don't want it to sound dated.

    Because I live in this town, I don't really love it as a name. Plus Lane Kiffin used it. Ew.

    I don't hate it, though. I wouldn't personally use it, but if I had to, I'd put it in the middle name spot for sure.

  • Knox like the Brangelina kid or the City? (Which is what the Brangelina kids is named after)

    I like it :)
  • DH I were going to use Colton Knox but found out we're having a girl.
  • I wouldn't use as a fn but maybe as a MN    I think of a Pitt-Jolie or Amanda    neither which I want to really think of when hearing my kids name
  • If you are set on it, I'd use it as a middle name.

     I really don't care for the way it sounds when you say it out loud.

  • NMS. It reminds me of gelatin.

    FWIW, there's a kid in DS' class named Knoxx. Cause one X wasn't unique enough.

  • A family in our church just (2 months ago) had a Knox.

    Their children are:
    Wolfgang Rainer
    Stella Blue
    Joaquin ?(I can't remember the MN)
    Norton Zion
    Knox Everest

    They obviously have a mountain-thing going with middle names for boys, but other than that, I haven't exactly disliked their naming style, but have thought it quite unique. NMS at all.
  • I was gonna ask if you were a UT fan! :)  I like it better for a middle name.  DH and I both graduated from UT and we have had lots of friends include Knox as a FN or MN.  I wouldn't do it because of Lane Kiffin.  :)
