Help[Opinions] Fox? WDYT?
I have had the name Fox down for a boy for the longest time. I adore foxes a lot. Does Fox sound okay with brother River, and sisters, Charlotte, and Bindi?
Behind the meanings of the names chosen:
Fox - my love for foxes, & Michael J. Fox (loved for: 11 years)
River - in reference to the Holy Spirit, my love for rivers ( loved for: 7 years)
Charlotte - from Charlotte's Web (loved for: 17 years)
Bindi - from Steve Irwin (one of the people I most admire/admired), I've liked it back in 1998,when he named his daugther that. (loved for: 8 years, i've liked him since 1996 though)
I have the name Fox Alastor chosen WDYT? I got Alastor from Harry Potter. LOL.
Should I spell it Fox Alistair or Fox Alastor?
ETA: I was just informed that Fox, and Alistair are people from the soap opera Passions. I have never really seen passions. This is the only Fox combo I like though, darn. WDYT? should I keep it?
Future Mommy to: River, Charlotte , Bindi

Fox is not a name I would ever consider using, but I think it could work. I see it as more of a nn that man or older boy grows into, like if he's very clever or has fox-red hair. I'd use Alistair, I'm not big on the current trend of using names from Harry Potter. :)
Did some googling, there's a writer for the NY Times called Fox Butterfield, so it isn't totally unheard of as a fn.
Don't like River at all, it is too hippie-ish for me and the sound is not attractive to my ears anyway. Fox and River as brothers is a kind of hokey, corny, like there should be a third brother named oh say... Monkey. Fox and River as brothers are very different from Charlotee. And Bindi is so very Australian-associated I can't imagine an American called it. OR an adult woman. It also doesn't go with the other names.

I think Fox Alistair is better than Alistor, very nice combo!
I have never heard of the soap opera Passions, so I think you could go with it!
The sibset sounds nice, although Charlotte sticks out a little imo, as Fox, River and Bindi sound very hippie-ish and Charlotte is a very traditional name. Not that I really care for sibsets that much, just wanted to point it out.
