EPTAs for his name, FoxeR is HILARIOUS. Quite frankly, I'd be happy if he stayed as BoxeR though.
There's something that just feels "right" about the whole thing. Like a legacy of BoxeRs. Very cool.

The boy is a great player with a relentless style. Don't think he will pick FoxeR, but honestly who cares. Nevertheless, the name should fit his preferences, not ours. Of course he said he would pick it, but dont get angry on an overhelmed 17 years old boy, if he doesnt finaly. Though I like the FoxeR-ID, and FoxeRPrime sounds cool  | ||

Fauxer is better. Foxer is a name for furies. Fauxer implies European suaveness, and is pronounced the same way by anglophones. Foxer-> Perverts Fauxer-> Europeans Which is better? Faux is French for FAKE and FALSE It is pronounced f-oh in French. Fauxer would be pronounced f-oh-kser in french. In english, we read Fauxer as f-ah-kser It's the same, but cooler. Seriously I'm going to jump off a bridge if as a people, as a community, we chose Foxer over Fauxer. Really. Fauxer>Foxer | ||

It looks french, it doesn't relate to boxer and it isn't pronounced the same way.. Might as well call him something else if you're not gonna be clever about it  Go FoxeR! And give me a foxer vs boxer finals please. | ||

Foxes are animals. His name has nothing to do with boxer anymore. Faux is fake in another language. It is exactly what it has to do. By replacing the first letter, you're implying you're making an acronym. FB is more correct. Fauxer. Common guys. | ||

Calling him "fake boxer" is hilarious and all, but he's an amazing player, and obviously too good to be overshadowed by real boxer. Mercury is a great name, too bad we can't suggest it to him :/. ps: Fauxer is obviously superior to Foxer. "Faux" means "fake", and "fauxer" is pronounced the same as "foxer". Thus, it's "Fake boxer". | ||

Please don't spread misinformation. "Faux" has never been pronounced the same as "fox" -- except possibly by the uneducated or the uninformed. It is pronounced "foe"; simply Google up "faux pronunciation". "Foxer" is simply a portmanteau of "fake" and "Boxer." While "Fauxer" makes sense from a definition standpoint, it is awkward to pronounce from a broadcast perspective (imagine hearing "foe-er" over and over) and has little synergy with how "Boxer" is pronounced. | ||

Yeah, it still wouldn't work. But I still like Fauxer better, even if we have to pronounce it wrong. | ||
