Felix - How popular is it?

This seems to be the only name that DH and I agree on at the moment, but I am worried it is becoming too popular/trendy. We are currently living overseas but are likely to come back to the UK in a few years.

Please let me know how many Felix's you know. Will he be one of many at school? (Likely to move back to London or Bristol if that helps).

TIA!

I know 1 Felix, aged 11. And went to school with one who would now be 37, in case that helps!

According to Office for National Statistics Felix was the 122nd most popular name for boys in 2009, with 485 baby boys given it as their first name.

We're in London. It's one of the very common names in DS's year at school (yr 5, 9-10 yr olds), but there are none in DD's (yr 2, 6-7 yr olds). I haven't met any baby Felixes for ages.

I don't know any Felixes.
