Amanda Marie Knox is an American woman who, in 2007, was convicted of murdering her roommate, Meredith Kercher, and sentenced to 26 years in an Italian prison.

She has since published a New York Time's bestseller, “Waiting To Be Heard: A Memoir”, and has become a passionate advocate for wrongfully incarcerated individuals.

I think Knox is a nicely unique name! It's not plain, but it isn't too crazy, and doesn't sound made up or anything. I don't really see how a Knox could have any nicknames though.

To me, "Knox" sounds like it should be the name of a big, beefy, maybe-not-the-brightest guy with a buzz cut, probably because "ox" is part of the name.

This is a strange name. I prefer it left as a surname, personally. To me it sounds very unprofessional and childish, and I can't shake the fact that it sounds exactly like "knocks".

I actually find this name strangely alluring, surprisingly enough. I suppose I relate it to Fort Knox, which makes me think of terms along the lines of "Strong; Loyal, Committed; Faithful; Powerful; Determined; Brave; Courage", but I am aware those definitions are a far cry from the actual meaning. The image of a barbed-wire fence cannot seemingly leave my mind, either.
Would I use it as a name, though? Regrettably or not, no.

Knox is a very nice name and I think it's an easy name to carry through life and won't get old. Love it!

The name KNOX means "round hill". Why would someone give a child such a name? It is absolutely dorky. For Angelina and Brad - disappointed!
