It would be used as a middle.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Sorry just saw your update.

Congrats.

MiddletonPink · 27/10/2014 14:31

It's pretty dated but not a classic
Unless it's after someone special I wouldn't.

Oh missed the update on my phone. Love Feliks. Thanks

jazzyjenbo · 27/10/2014 14:03

Fab news, great b'day!! Also my ds's

TempsPerdu · 27/10/2014 13:44

Feliks Ambrose is lovely. Congratulations on your new arrival!

mymummademelistentoshitmusic · 27/10/2014 13:14

The name itself is ok. But yes, it's now a bit low rent due to the popularity of the name with loud/scruffy types.

MarissaHodge · 27/10/2014 13:03

Nice :)

Just to update; Baby Feliks Ambrose launched into the world on 15th October. Thanks to everyone who gave their opinions, on this and my other naming threads :)

I got that impression too, lettice.

I've never heard of the judge test though... I think all my DC would fail it!

Boring but as somebody said, unexpected as a middle name. I think it's a bit too sur namey for my taste but others don't mind that.

birdofthenorth · 18/09/2014 20:15

Like it.

Rylan reminds me too much of him from Good Morning. Grates on my nerves.

Huh, I thought Ryan would be one of those simple names that almost everyone liked. Especially compared other common names like Jack.

I do like Seth, too. But I've seen how much it's been disliked on MN! Grin

I think it's a nice name, and it works well with both of your first name options. I actually think it complements them very well, because the first names are both less well known names and Ryan is a short, simple and strong name - it makes for an effective contrast if you see what I mean.

I think some MNers see anything which isn't in-your-face middle class as 'chavvy', but I regard Ryan as fairly classless. My DS name has been called chavvy on here and there has been a US president called it - if that isn't passing the high court judge test, I don't know what is!

CPtart · 18/09/2014 19:57

Er, no.

pilates · 18/09/2014 19:52

Awful, sorry.

DogCalledRudis · 18/09/2014 13:58

Its nice. It maybe very frequent these days, but popular names means big part of population think they're nice.
Personally myself i'd prefer Rylan.

Leeds2 · 18/09/2014 10:21

I wouldn't use Ryan.

NachoExpress · 18/09/2014 10:15

I think both Ilya Ryan and Feliks Ryan go together well :)

grufallosfriend · 18/09/2014 10:10

Love Ilya! I know a lovely boy (well teenager now) called this.

Really don't like Ryan but you rarely use middle names so might be ok.

ralinax294 - First name would be either Ilya (eel-yah) or Feliks. The former is the front runner.

And yes, they are both spelt correctly (Russian spelling/variant) for anyone who asks :)

I've only ever met one, I like it.
