Thoughts on our final 3

Just wondering what people's choices would be between these three for our ds due soon

Aaron Matthew
Felix Joseph
Leo Thomas

Don't have any concerns with Aaron but Leo seems very popular at the moment, not that that would totally put us off. When we have mentioned Felix to a few friends and family a few have said it's just a cat name. Most of the others like it and we like it a lot.

another who prefers Felix and Leo

Not keen on Aaron. Too much like Darren, Sharon and Karen in sound.

Felix Joseph

Felix or Leo. Both lovely.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 25/08/2018 10:14

Felix or Leo. Both nice.

I love Felix Joseph. Such a lovely happy name.

My second choice from your list would be Leo Thomas. I'm not a big fan of Aaron, especially when people pronounce it Arran.

Felix Joseph

I love Aaron- but I would worry that people would say Arran. So I would probably, with a bit of regret, go for one of the other two.

Felix - sounds like a cat
Leo - sounds like a lion

I'd second the suggestion of Matthew Aaron. Matthew is my favourite out of the six and still sounds nice if shortened to Matt when he's older.

Not Felix Joseph. There are probably more cats in the world called Felix than boys

I think Aaron Matthew flows better but I love the name Theo, so Theo Thomas would get my vote

I like all of them :) good choices! Don't worry too much about popularity or which is more common. I know someone who named their DD Elsa waaay before Frozen as it was quite uncommon and then that happened bless her.

Leo Thomas is lovely

AdaColeman · 25/08/2018 09:43

Felix Joseph would be my choice.

I also like Matthew, would you consider Matthew Aaron?
