Fury. I met the little chap today and you'd think with a name like that he would be a ball of rage, but he was adorable and full of giggles and tried to eat my finger  I cannot imagine the trouble he's going to have growing up with a name like that. |

I saw one yesterday. Hux. Fury is quite the name to live up to.  |

Awwwww! I'm so tired that when I read it I thought, who the heck would name their kid Furry? Why would you do that? Did they have a lot of hair? lol Then it sunk in that I might need a nap. I think it's kind of a neat and different name. Though I'm not sure I'd name my son that.  |

oh dear, for some reason I read it as "furry" and thought what the heck. Fury is much better than furry IMHO.
I really hope it suits him as his personality develops and he leans toward unrestrained passion over violent anger.

Isn't there a character in the Avengers movies named Fury? I can picture him. He's an awesome character. I bet they are Stan Lee or Avengers fans.
I do like it.

Really? Really?! Lol. I guess I'm alone in my WTF over this one. How funny. I do agree that Furry would be worse, though |

I'm going to validate you, OP. I don't care for this name at all. But what do I know? I was once told I was pretty boring for naming my son, Paul.

Is there an Irish connection by any chance? Furey is an Irish surname

I could go along with Hux, although it wouldn't be a first pick for sure. Fury is ridiculous, IMHO. My son had a dog named Fury once. Ok for a dog, but not a child IMO...

Do not like it. Too weird for me. But there are lots of weird names out there. I just like the boring ones I guess.  |

I've seen a lot worse names for children. One of the worst was someone whose child had the same first/last name. I won't write it here for fear of finding her as part of this group. Her name was similar to "Sue Sue." Why? ....but, then I worked with a man who had the same first/last name--I also thought his parents were insane. (such as James James) |

My fourth son is named Paul, but in true southern fashion, I call him by that and his middle name too. My ex-husband wanted to name our first son Dax. He lost. |

I am not really a fan of Fury as a name either. To me, it's a bit like naming a child Rage. Or Anger.  Lisa |

I don't have any unusual names in my class this year. A few ethnic names that I have had the parents repeat to me very.very.slowly but nothing cool.
