What do you think?
Henry
Felix
Edward
Leo
Alexis
To me, Alexa sounds like a girls' name and Alexis a boys' name.
Alex can be both (Alexander, Alexandra).
I always thought Alexis was a boys name but then the only one I have heard of is
Alexis DenisofWikipedia says "The name was traditionally male, though it has been in use as a girls name in the United States since at least the 1940s"
Alex
a is a girls name.
I like it, but then my DS is named Alexander...
Thanks for all your input.
Although my favorite has rated as least poular, it has just confirmed how much I like it. And its not a girls name. Its a unisex name. And I think its lovely. :D
Henry, Edward and Leo are all great

Felix I wouldnt have as its (for me) a cats name.
Alexis is a girls name. Alex or Alexander would be great. Are you thinking of Alexei, as in Alexei Sale? That is a boys name.
Hi
1. Leo - nice
2. Edward - classic
3. Felix - i still think of cats sorry
4. Henry - nice
5. Alexis - surely should be alexander or just alex for a boy. Alexis is girlie sorry.
Rearranging your list in order of my personal preference:
1. Leo - love it, love, it, love it!
2. Edward - lovely classic name
3. Felix - like it a lot
4. Henry - tis OK
5. Alexis - I think of it as a girl's name, sorry.
They're all ok apart from Alexis which I would say is a girl's name (I have a female cousin called Alexis).
I think I prefer Henry but like the nn for Edward (Ted, Ned etc)
I like Felix or Henry as a safer choice.
Alexis - think Carrington
Edward - a bit dull
Leo - nah
I love Henry DS1 name. I love Leo as well sometimes wish I had chosen this for DS2.
I like Edward, not sure about Felix just can't get the cat thing out of my head with this one, but I have never met anyone called Felix and I'm sure my view would change if I ever did.
I like Edward and Henry.
Felix could grow on me (can't get past the cat thing atm).
Not sure about Alexis. Sounds like a girls name.
I don't like Leo.
