Boy names for middle name FOX

Any and all suggestions welcome!
[name_u]Baby[/name_u]’s middle name is going to be [name_u]Fox[/name_u] (non-negotiable,) which is my last name. Decided on that instead of hyphenating both of our last names.

Open to the idea of 2 middle names, with [name_u]Fox[/name_u] being the 2nd middle name if I decide to go that route.
That being said, here’s my updated list of FIRST names for “Orbit,” his name until I choose!

•[name_u]Asher[/name_u]
•[name_u]August[/name_u]
•[name_u]Axel[/name_u]
•[name_u]Barrett[/name_u]
•[name_u]Beckett[/name_u]
•[name_u]Bodhi[/name_u]
•[name_u]Bowie[/name_u]
•[name_u]Cade[/name_u]
•[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
•[name_m]Cian[/name_m] (KEE-en)
•[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
•[name_u]Declan[/name_u]
•[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
•[name_m]Gable[/name_m]
•[name_m]Gunnar[/name_m]
•[name_u]Greyson[/name_u]
•[name_u]Harley[/name_u]
•[name_u]Holden[/name_u]
•[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
•[name_u]Jett[/name_u]
•[name_m]Keir[/name_m]
•[name_m]Larson[/name_m]/Lawson
•[name_u]Mack[/name_u]
•[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
•[name_u]Marlow[/name_u]
•[name_u]Maverick[/name_u]
•[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
•[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
•[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
•[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
•[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]/Rohan
•[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
•[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
•[name_m]Torin[/name_m]

I’m open to suggestions and can take some constructive criticism! I can’t decide which names sound best with MN [name_u]Fox[/name_u], last name Shields… kind of a tough combo to work with :grimacing: HELP!
Thanks!!

Barrett [name_u]Fox[/name_u] is really cool.

I love [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] and [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]!

Me too! Thanks!

Jasper [name_u]Fox[/name_u] gets my vote. Such a cool name! I love [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_u]Marlow[/name_u], [name_u]Asher[/name_u], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u] as well.

I think a two syllable name will sound best! [name_u]Asher[/name_u], [name_u]Declan[/name_u], [name_u]Holden[/name_u], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], and [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] are my favorites. I also like [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] but the repeating F sounds might be a bit much, same with [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and the repeating S sound with your last name. [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Soren[/name_m] are lovely but may be too wordy with [name_u]Fox[/name_u] as a middle (a fox in [name_u]August[/name_u], a fox who is soaring). [name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helps! You’ve got lots of awesome names to choose from!

I love your naming style!

My three favourites:
[name_u]Asher[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Bodhi[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]

Love your list!

Rafferty [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Bowie[/name_u] [name_u]Greyson[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Holden[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]

Jasper [name_u]Fox[/name_u] gets my vote–such a memorable combo! [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] would be my second choice. I love lots of names from your list–[name_u]August[/name_u] is another one of my favorites!–but prefer the flow of these two with [name_u]Fox[/name_u].

I love
[name_m]Lawson[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] Fix
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
If you were after another middle I think you could use any classic name like [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]?
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
Etc etc

I think [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] sound best with ___ [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields. Since both the middle and surname are monosyllabic with strong sounds (X and “eel”) I think a longer, softer first name works the best for flow.

There are so many names on your list that I love that I may not be that helpful! The most important to me is the first name with his last name as that is how he will be known. And I love that you are able to use your last name [name_u]Fox[/name_u] as such a meaningful middle. Favourites with last name Schie1ds…

Axel
[name_u]Barrett[/name_u]
[name_m]Cian[/name_m]
[name_m]Gable[/name_m]
[name_u]Holden[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Larson[/name_m]/Lawson
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]

Asher Shie1ds, [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] Shie1ds, [name_m]Silas[/name_m] Shie1ds, and [name_m]Soren[/name_m] Shie1ds are a little tongue twister for me.

Hi there.

Here are my thoughts on the list:

Asher-Really cool artsy yet outdoorsy simple manly but gentle name. Lots of good descriptors! That being said, I don’t like how it sounds w/Shields.

August-This isn’t as bad w/your ln, because at least it’s not a ‘sh’. [name_u]August[/name_u] is a great name. It’s actually similar to [name_u]Asher[/name_u] in the vibe it gives off, but even a little more classic. Cute nn options too. [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields has a lot of ‘s’ sounds, but not a deal breaker.

Axel-This doesn’t sound great w/the combo either, & the name is not my style in general. It just sound a little trying too hard.

Barrett-This is fine, but doesn’t do much for me. It just sounds a little bland, but the flow of [name_u]Barrett[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields sounds quite nice.

Beckett-This sounds good w/the combo as well, but I don’t know. I just don’t love the sound of it. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though the nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u] is adorable.

Bohdi-Meh, not my style. Not sure why, but Bohdi [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields sounds nice.

Bowie-Same as above.

Cade-I don’t love the flow of [name_u]Cade[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shileds, but [name_u]Cade[/name_u] is a pretty cool name.

Cassidy-This is just too used for girls, I’d say. Maybe [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] or [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]?

Cian-Ooh, love it! Super unique but I don’t think too difficult? It’s kind of sporty yet gentle & just lovable.

Cole-[name_m]Cole[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] is a little abrupt, but this is okay. I prefer it as a nn for [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m].

Declan-I love this name. It’s my nephew’s name, & he’s a nice little guy. Witty, goofy, sporty, & super sweet. [name_u]Declan[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shileds sounds pretty good.

Finn-I love [name_u]Finn[/name_u]! [name_u]Finn[/name_u] Shields sounds great. [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields is a little off, but it’s fine. [name_u]Finn[/name_u] kind of gives me a similar vibe to [name_u]Declan[/name_u]. And it’s a little the same amount of popular.

Gable-I don’t love the sound of this for some reason. I like just [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields sound quite nice.

Gunnar-Meh, I don’t like this. It just doesn’t sound that nice to me.

Greyson-This is super trendy & over done in my opinion.

Harley-I don’t love the sound of this either, & it’s very associated w/the motorcycle.

Holden-This is a nice name, & sounds good w/the combo. It’s one of those outdoorsy & masculine yet gentle thoughtful sounding names. Simple & not too popular.

Jasper-People seem to love this, but I can’t get into it. It just sounds goofy to me.

Jett-This is a little hard to take seriously too. [name_u]Jett[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields flows well.

Keir-Hm. I like [name_u]Kieran[/name_u] (really, [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m]), more. [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields is perfect.

Larson/Lawson-[name_m]Lawson[/name_m] sounds much nicer for some reason. [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields is a bit essy, but not bad.

Mack-This is cute, but better as a nn. [name_u]Maverick[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields nn [name_u]Mack[/name_u] would be so cool!

Magnus-[name_f]My[/name_f] husband loves this name, but I can’t get into it. It’s okay…kind of cool & different.

Marlow-I think this may be used for girls a little too much.

Rafferty-Super cool & different. Especially w/the nn [name_u]Rafe[/name_u]. Sounds like a baseball player.

Remy-[name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields sounds really nice. [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is very cute.

Rhett-This is fine. I like the combo flow, but [name_m]Rhett[/name_m] just doesn’t have that nice of a sound to me.

Ronan-This is my doggy nephew’s name! He’s a sweetheart, so I’m biased. But it’s a very handsome strong & kind name. It’s unique & simple, & [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields flows perfectly.

Rowan/Rohan-I consider these very different. [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] is okay, but I really adore [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. It’s like a slightly softer version of [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]. [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] is a bit more unique though, & [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is used for girls sometimes.

Silas-This is way too much of a tongue twister w/your ln, even though it’s a great name in general.

Soren-I don’t mind this one. [name_m]Soren[/name_m] Shields kind of sounds like an indie movie star.

Torin-[name_m]Soren[/name_m] sounds way cooler for some reason.

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

I actually think having [name_u]Fox[/name_u] and Shields as middle and last names is a great combo to work with! Very cool together! Although I would have a preference for a first name that isn’t a word name or a surname type name since he already has two of those.

My favorites are [name_u]Asher[/name_u], [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], [name_u]Beckett[/name_u], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_u]Mack[/name_u], and [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]!
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m] and [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] are my absolute favorites.

Love that you are calling him Orbit in the mean time :smiley:

Beckett and [name_u]Asher[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] are my favorites!

Love that you are incorporating your name as his middle, and just love [name_u]Fox[/name_u]. It’s short and spunky!

My favourites out of your list would have to be

Rowan [name_u]Fox[/name_u] - I love this name and Roo is cute for a nn
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Bodhi[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]

I think [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] would perhaps work better than [name_u]Declan[/name_u], or [name_u]Finley[/name_u] / [name_u]Finlay[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] instead of [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] (too many one-syllables with your surname). I do like a bit of alliteration!

If I was to suggest anything off your list, it would be [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]. I think this sounds classic but with a modern twist.

Hope this helps. Looking forward to hearing what you decide on!

Using process of elimination to narrow down your list, I would take out all of the one-syllable choices since [name_u]Fox[/name_u] and Shields both are one-syllable names (the whole name might sound abrupt) and for the same reason eliminate the word or word-sounding names (in case the whole name is too…wordy?)

That would leave me with [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], [name_u]Beckett[/name_u], [name_u]Bodhi[/name_u], [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], [name_u]Declan[/name_u], [name_u]Harley[/name_u], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] (technically a word but not at all obvious imo) [name_m]Larson[/name_m], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_u]Marlow[/name_u], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Soren[/name_m] and [name_m]Torin[/name_m].
These are all cool and would work with the middle + last name! But when I say them in my head, the ones with the best flow/vibe to me are
[name_u]Barrett[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields
[name_u]Bodhi[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields
[name_m]Larson[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields
[name_m]Torin[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] Shields

You have an awesome middle + last name to work with & all of your choices are great, so don’t even sweat it!

My faves are…
[name_u]Asher[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u]
[name_m]Gable[/name_m]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]

I’d have [name_u]Fox[/name_u] as the only middle name - great choice, and would avoid a single syllable first name. [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_u]Declan[/name_u], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] are excellent names from your list.
