DH and I are fairly sure we have settled on a name for our son due in May. We both love the name Felix. What are everyone’s thoughts?

I like it. Also reminds me of Felix Felicis in Harry Potter.

MissLanesAmericanCousin · 27/01/2019 22:46

My first impressions of Felix;

Felix is precocious, full of energy, likes to take things apart to see how they work. Has boundless energy. Gives bear hugs. Can be naughty. But he has a good soul. When he grows up people will describe him as intelligent and funny. Smart as whip. Good natured. Considered by many to be a good egg. Hates spiders.

Not to my taste at all - but what does it matter 'what people think'. You're never going to find a name that everyone likes.

Cat food for me, too!

I like it. The cat food is only in the UK.

Cat for me. Sorry.

It matters not what we think of it though, all that matters is that you love it.

Such a great meaning. I like it.

Felix is high on my list! DP says no, but I love it.

TheBluesAreStillBlue · 27/01/2019 22:24

I love it and it was number 1 on our list (had a girl though). So what if some people associate the name with Felix the cat? It’s common enough to have other connotations and all names remind someone of something....

Yes, cat food for me too. Sorry OP

Felix the cat!
