Can names like [name_m]Fox[/name_m], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], [name_u]Ash[/name_u] or [name_f]Lux[/name_f] (for a girl), [name_f]Briar[/name_f] be used and not generate a lifelong struggle for a grown man or woman? Honestly, I’m feeling very excited with [name_f]Liv[/name_f] for a girl, and still looking at the other boy names I’ve listed. Still, I can’t help but wonder.
[name_f]Liv[/name_f] is amazing!
I think that all of these names are usable, especially in a generation where less “ordinary” names are being used more and more. These are not way out there and made-up sounding, but they are cool, streamlined and a bit different.
I really like [name_m]Fox[/name_m], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], [name_u]Ash[/name_u] and [name_f]Briar[/name_f]. I’m less keen on [name_f]Lux[/name_f] but I think it is certainly wearable. It might be a good alternative to the standard short middle names [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]May[/name_f].
I don’t see why not, considering the kinds of names your children’s peers will have.
Sure. I mean, I know that our child will grow up surrounded by a variety of names, going from original to absurd, but it would be reasuring to know if these are “good-ish” names at all, or just acceptable by comparisson. It might be a lot to ask for, since they may not appeal to your tastes, but any insight would be great.
I think they’re all fine 
Actually, I quite like all of your choices and think they’re very tame compared to the usual kinds of names that I like (as you can see in my signature.) [name_u]Ash[/name_u] is definitely on trend, I know. Birth announcements popping up on my Facebook recently have included [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m]. [name_m]Fox[/name_m], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], and [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] also seem to be on the rise. Nature names never go out of style, imo. I would even suggest [name_m]Bear[/name_m] to you, if you haven’t thought about it. Finally, [name_f]Lux[/name_f] and [name_f]Briar[/name_f] have always seemed relatively popular on nameberry and I’m sure would fit in with the “real” world, being similar to other names like [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Greer[/name_f]. Although, I suppose all of this is subjective to where you live.
This is a big aspect of it. It really depends on your area. [name_m]Even[/name_m] in a small state like Maryland, there are differences depending on your location (western shore vs eastern shore, suburbs vs rural vs city). Assuming you are in the US, find the names by state full data set here; it’s a Zip that will download on your computer. That way you can search through by state and using the search function when you are in a certain data set really helps you see the naming patterns in a certain state.
I don’t think more unique names mean that the child will necessarily struggle, especially any of the ones you listed. [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] Blitzer has done just fine. Additionally, it can also depend on your type of parenting style. I would assume (it could be incorrect) that someone who takes their child to a Waldorf school would be more likely to run into other kids with these type of names than someone who puts their child in a private, religious school.
