Love it. Wanted it for this baby but she is a girl. I think it's fabulous, although possibly getting more popular. We have a DS already and he is George. I really like Felix!

It's become quite popular but I personally don't rate it. Cat connotations too much

Branleuse · 29/04/2013 20:52

love it. it's my best.

Love it! It's a solid, classic Biblical name, and just a bit quirky too.

BigBongTheory · 29/04/2013 20:16

Love it. Classic and international. Quite popular now I think.

Sorry just think cat

Linguaphile · 29/04/2013 18:38

It's on our short list! No cats here, so that probably helps.

Felix is my cats name...its a popular brand of cat food too so not an ideal choice of name if you live in the UK...

Love it. Smile

Ham69 · 29/04/2013 16:28

Love it.

I don't like it at all, sorry. It's partly the cat food connection but I just don't like the way it sounds.

Metellaestinhortobibit · 29/04/2013 14:12

Love it!
Wanted it for my dd if she'd been a boy. But then I do like a classical name and it means happy, doesn't it?

rachel234 · 29/04/2013 13:58

I'm afraid the cat connotations - both Felix The Cat and the catfood - are quite strong here too.

Locketjuice · 29/04/2013 13:53

A cat Blush sorry!

Yes, this comes to my mind:

But if that doesn't bother you or if you're outside the UK, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Here in the UK it's a well know cat food brand. We've got a cat and so to me it is just that, catfood. Smile
