Are Fox and Felix too similar?

Keeping in mind there's another brother in the mix (Theodore), do you think Fox and Felix are too similar to be brothers? Does it really matter?

Yes too similar, sorry.

Yes they are too similar.

I didn't know Fox was a name, but actually I like it (which wasn't your question, I know, before you tell me). But I think it is too close to Felix. And it sounds like there should be a character Felix the fox. And the three names together is a bit of a mouthful. Felix, fox, and theodore all sound very alike.

I don't think they're too close.

Go for it.

yes I think they're too similar - starting and ending with the same letter, a bit too much in my opinion.

Theodore is never Teddy.

Yes Fox is a name - that wasn't the question.
