Re: Foxglove
in reply to a message by Siân
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.

What about bad boy ex-boyfriend?
Trying to figure out an edgy, yet not name for a guy who loves himself more than anyone else.
Cool at first, but you get over him quickly kind of guy.

What about something like Fawkes? An even COOLER version of Fox. Or does that make you think of phoenixes? Faulks?
