In the UK fox and Fawkes are pronounced very differently, the o in fox is a short 'o' sound and the aw in Fawkes is a longer 'or' sound.
I've just tried to say both in my terrible impression of an American accent and they do sound more similar then so I guess that makes sense seeing as this is a mainly American site.
