Help[Opinions] Re: Knox
in reply to a message by Xeno
Knox is one of those names that looks really cool in print, but sounds pretty bad on real people. So it's a name I'd only use for a character in a story.
I associate the name with old-money and family names passed down for generations (especially if the family name started as someone's surname). This association is likely due to the fact that one of my favorite movies is "Dead Poets Society," and one of the main characters is named Knox Overstreet.
Which has to be one of the worst names ever. I mean... Knocks Over Street. Who does that to their child?! lol
Please rate my personal name lists:

At my K-12 high school there was an elementary school girl who was named Echo Hall. On a rare occasion I see kids who have names like that. Where a pun is made with the surname.
I also knew a Cecil Barnacle which wasn't as bad since at least Cecil is a real name. At least he wasn't Sea Barnacle or Ocean Barnacle.
My mother-in-law grew up with someone named Purdy Outhouse which had also been his grandfather's name. He got teased so much growing up.
