DH thinks too many F's

For a long time now, I wanted Freddie for our baby (due in 18 days!)

DH is totally on board with it, first or middle name. I want Freddie after my Grandad, so really it was non-negotiable Grin

We've still been occasionally mentioning names. But nothing has stood out enough for me to want that as a first name.

UNTIL
DH mentioned Felix.
I can't stop thinking about it.
I absolutely love it.

But DH thinks Felix Freddie is too much.
Our surname begins with M and I think it flows quite nicely.. no one actually uses a middle name anyway.

I like pp suggestion of Felix Alfred, unless your Granddad is/was a Frederick in which case I think Felix Frederick is nice too. Or how about Wilfred?

Otherwise you could add a second middle name to break it up a bit

e.g. Felix John Frederick M
e.g. Felix Benjamin Freddie M

(I would add a long second mn if using Freddie and a short one if using Frederick but that may just be me!)

Felix Freddie is fine but do like the other suggestions of Alfred or Frederick better

Felix Freddie is fine (but Felix Frederick is better)

Felix Alfred?

Alfred Felix flows even more nicely IMO.

Depends on the surname.
Felix Freddie Flamingo?

I like the sound of Felix Freddie, go for it!

That's what I told him! Barely anyone knows my middle name.

In my opinion, it goes together quite nicely.
(first name) Felix
(middle name) Freddie

Freddie is the only name we've agreed on.
Until he suggested Felix. He doesn't love it anywhere near as much as I do. But has said as I'm the one pushing him out, I can have final say 😂

Unless you are going to be calling "Freddie Felix" across the park regularly, IMO it doesn't matter. People on here sometimes worry about first and middle names 'going', but unless they say something rude together eg Arse Hole it's not a problem
