Which do you prefer from Archie, Stanley (Stan) or Sidney (Sid)? Sibling is Felix.

Stanley

I love Felix with Isaac: a happy boy and a laughing boy.

Also agree Archie goes best (and I like Archer too). Arlo/ Milo are good alternatives. Stanley is cool and I like it too.
I completely agree it's nice for sibling names to work well together. They don't have to match but, although the kids themselves won't care, selfishly you/mum/dad will spend your whole life saying them together, especially for the first ten years!

Archer/Archies out of your options

I think Milo goes well with Felix personally

RiverTam · 05/07/2017 11:04

Sid. I quite like Stan but it reminds me of the Eminem song.

FruitTwist2017 · 05/07/2017 11:03

Archie

Drybonesthatdream · 05/07/2017 11:03

I love Sid or Stanley. Archie is a bit too common for me.

Montsti · 05/07/2017 11:01

Archie😊

Lemon I agree the names don't have to be overly "matchy" but I refer a similar style name if possible.. Other suggestions would be great!

*wouldn't

I'm not being factious but does the name have to 'go' with Felix? They'll be a sib set for such a short period in their life. Mostly they'll be independent adults, living seperate lives. Ok, it might be a bit strange if you have Felix and Vegus or something, but even then it would be the end of the world.

Why not just pick a name you like and which suits him?

Out of your list, I think Sid is quite sweet and also works for a grown man.

Thanks everyone. What other boys names would you say go better with Felix?

I love Stanley and Sidney.

I'd probably choose Stanley.

CrystalMethHog · 04/07/2017 21:32

Stanley!!

sonlypuppyfat · 04/07/2017 21:25

Felix is lovely and I don't think it goes with the old man names you've picked, I really don't like them

Sandsnake · 04/07/2017 21:23

Archie, at a push. Then Stanley. Really, really dislike Sidney, sorry. For some reason in my head Sid has always been a really shifty looking man with a fag hanging out of his mouth... Entirely irrational, I'm sure!

KarineAimee · 04/07/2017 20:27

Stanley, congratulations!

jumpybluespider · 04/07/2017 19:22

Love Sid but Felix goes best with Archie.

Janika · 04/07/2017 19:14
