Husband and I dont know if its a boy or a girl yet but I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_m]Knox[/name_m] for a boy or a girl. For a girl, I think it sounds kind of bad ass. I was thinking something very feminine for the middle name to offset the masculinity of the name [name_m]Knox[/name_m]…maybe like, [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]…or something like that. But, I wanted to get some ideas from others about middle names for [name_m]Knox[/name_m] for a girl. I know many people dont like [name_m]Knox[/name_m] for a girl so if you have negative comments please dont contribute. [name_u]Blake[/name_u] Lively named her daughter [name_u]James[/name_u] and to me that is also a very boyish name but I just think [name_m]Knox[/name_m] for a girl is super unique and sounds kind of BA! Any thoughts on middle names please! We tried the method for a girl so thats what Im hoping but either way I hope to have a girl one day in the future and would love ideas!
I’m not a fan but…

Personally not a fan, but I don’t see why it couldn’t work. I’ve heard much worse in terms of gender bending names. I think it would probably be fine if paired with a long, very feminine middle name!
Yes I love it! Some middle name suggestions:
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_u]Felice[/name_u]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
I’m seeing the appeal of [name_m]Knox[/name_m] on a girl, oddly. I like it spelled Nox much better though, and the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] connection is cool, though maybe it’s too close to the word “noxious”? I’d pair it with a funky middle with a bohemian feel, that’s clearly feminine to distinguish gender. I’d pick a middle starting with a consonant, since I find it a bit hard to say with a middle that starts with a vowel.
Nox [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] / [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
Nox [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] / [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]
Nox [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] / [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
Nox [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] / [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
Nox [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] / [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
Nox [name_f]Violet[/name_f] / [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] could totally work for a little gal.
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Hayley[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m], to me, is unappealing as a boy’s name, and especially so as a girls name. Hard Knocks and all…Also, I find unusual celebrity copycat names unimaginitive…sorry.
I don’t really like it for a boy or girl. But it does feel more masculine to me if it’s going to be used. It’s just a harsh sound… whereas I can see the appeal of [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] for a girl even though that’s not my cup of tea.
It’s not really my style, but I can see the appeal! It’s a surname name, so I don’t see why not for a girl? I say go for it if it’s “the” name!
Some middle name ideas:
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] / [name_f]Emeline[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] is absolutely, unequivocally, 100% male. [name_m]Even[/name_m] [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] would be preferable for a girl.
I like Nox, so why not?
For contrasting middles, I would think something traditionally feminine and soft-sounding - [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Janelle[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Valerie[/name_f], [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f].
What is really sad in my opinion is that people find masculine names bad ass, but not feminine names. A girl with a masculine name is strong, cool, bad ass… So stereotyped. That trend is super sexist. Would you name your son [name_f]Rose[/name_f]? Why wouldn’t it be bad ass to be a boy named [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?
Your daughter will be a bad ass if you raise her this way. Not because of her name. Girls don’t need to have a masculine name to prove that they are strong.
That being said, I don’t like [name_m]Knox[/name_m] for a girl, but I would pair it with a very feminine name such as [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
While I agree it’s true you don’t have to be masculine to be strong, I think that names, like language, are pretty fluid, especially over time. I am someone who has feminine names on their boys name list, though (such as [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u], though the last two are technically unisex surnames, i guess, but are definitely more “feminine” given these days") I also think that the conversation on this board concerning the intersectionality of sex, gender and sociological implications is pretty one sided - THAT being said, [name_m]Knox[/name_m] is fine for a girl. Nox and [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] and also cute,
