Changing Dexter and adding Fox

Boy Names
1

I haven’t been able to get [name_m]Fox[/name_m] out of my head for days now and I’m starting to really love it, so I found a middle name for it:

[name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] Pistachio

I thought I had completely settled on [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Theo[/name_u] if we have another little boy in the future, but I love [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] too much. I looked around some of our old lists and found one of SO’s suggestions, [name_m]Linus[/name_m].

[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] Pistachio

I’m in love with it.

So, what do you think of the name [name_m]Fox[/name_m], the combination [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] Pistachio, and the name [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] Pistachio? [name_m]How[/name_m] do you think they sound with [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m]? I haven’t spoken to SO about this yet, he’s crunching so non-essential contact is kept to a minimum. I have a pretty good idea of what he likes, though. Please note, the surname is not really Pistachio, but something very similar. I included it because I think the last name makes a significant difference in the general appeal of a name.

I never liked fox until i met someone named [name_m]Fox[/name_m] and it suits him perfectly!

I like [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! Is pistachio your last name or a second middle name?

Thanks! Pistachio is a mock surname. It’s very similar to my SO’s last name (think [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] and [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]) so you get the idea of how it sounds and looks together.

So, we spoke and he likes them both! I’m pretty excited about this addition.

I really like [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! It has a really nice flow and sound. I do think [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] also sounds nice, and would go with [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m] a little better. [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] I think sounds a little choppy.

Thanks for your reply! [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] is a little choppy, but I think that’s part of its charm.
