I love it! It sounds masculine but kinda cute. I dunno. I'm just smitten with it I guess. I'm a doll maker, and I named a doll Knox the second I could.

It sounds too much like "knocks" for my liking.

Unattractive. It doesn't even sound like a legitimate name.
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.
My nephew is named Knox and I happen to like it very much. A name shouldn't be defined by its meaning. It's a name, someone's identity. 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!
