I don't know why, but it sounds like a slang term for a woman's vagina to me. I don't care for it.

From reading the subject before the post I presumed this would be for a girl.

I see it more as the name of a female kitten or elven trickster...

It would be nice to see a creative name on a boy. Foxglove nn Fox would be cool.

soo sexy

something about the combined powers of fox+glove=megasexy. Foxglove sounds like a brooding, tortured hunk.

I like it!

In a realistic story no, unless there's a specific reason why his parents gave him such a weird name. Otherwise, I'd find it distracting and strained.

Ah!

I really love the name Foxglove, insane as it might be. While I especially like it on a girl, seeing as it does feel initially feminine to me, I'd also adore seeing it on a boy - and the more I think of it, the more I warm up to it!

Foxglove could be really handsome, oddly enough. Fox would be a wicked cool nickname as well.

It's an awesome idea for a character. I say go for it!

You could get away with it in a story that was really, really campy. Self-consciously so.
Otherwise, no.
Especially since a foxglove is whimsically named for its flower shape ... it's not a masculine image at all, not to get really literal about it but I assume you'll understand what I mean. And also since it is poisonous, it just sounds more like a stereotypical female villain name than a boy.
Maybe a really, really fey and vampy boy.

No. Foxglove...maybe if he isn't human...I don't know. I don't think so.
