Aiden, Felix or Owen?

So, these are our top three. We already have an older daughter called Penelope Ada. Our surname starts with an O, two syllables. Me and my husband are not big people so ds isn't likely to be either! His middle name is going to be Barnabas, which has a special meaning for us. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Felix

Auden is lovely.
To me felix is for a pet, and Owen is a bit unmemorable.

Felix is my favourite personally

Felix.

Don't do any yoooneeek spellings!

I don't think Owen would work with your surname.

Thanks so far everyone! DH doesn't want to have Barnabas as a first name. I'd like to avoid unusual spellings, just to make life easier for the kid.

Felix, but you could spell it Phoeliks or Feelixx.

I like Aiden spelled Aydn although that's a bit different.

Felix always reminds me of the cat and seems like a pets name.

Owen is the best but not sure how well it'd go with a surname with O?

Honestly, I really like Barnabas and I'd use that as a first name (if it was an option)!

I like all your choices op but felix especially
