Knox

CopperBoom86 · June 2018

My husband and I settled on the name Knox for our son, but we've gotten some negative feedback recently and I'd love some honest opinions on it from you guys. His name would be Knox David. Is it too weird? We picked it because we wanted something "different," but not "weird different." Is it too much?

Love Knox! I couldn’t ever get my husband on board or I would have named DS this!

It’s just very I think I’m giving my kid a name that sounds badass trendy

@bbiutmcph HA! Too funny. We're so NOT trendy people, so I don't mind that observation.

@midwestmom12 My husband was iffy about it until he realized his initials would be KD. He's a big basketball fan and the Kevin Durant comparison was enough to sway him haha. Also, one of his friends mentioned that if he plays basketball, they could say "nobody gets past Fort Knox!" He was giddy about it after that!

It comes across as try hard to me.

Its okay. Don't love it and don't hate it. Very trendy sort of name.

Agee with others that it is a trendy name that comes off as trying too hard.

I think your only problem with Knox is that you told people you know and are letting their opinions sway you. I think it's best to either 1. keep the name to yourself until the baby is born or 2. love the name so much that you don't care what people say about it while you're pregnant.

I think Knox is a good choice. If you love it, own it.

It feels trendy and try-hard to me. Maybe David Knox.

Haha, I can so relate to this! DH tests out every name by how it would sound announced before a b-ball game.
