Felix, Jack or Dominic?!

That quite simply. Due a boy very soon but struggling with names. Husband initially reluctant on Felix due to the cat thing but warming to it now. What do you ladies think??

Love Felix. I don’t think it’s too feline
Dominic I quite like but often gets shortened to Dom which I don’t like at all
Jack - a little meh for me it’s fine but nothing special.

DS is Felix and literally no one has ever mentioned the cat connection.

Dominic is lovely too.

Jack is a good name but there will be 3 others in his class.

One of my best mates is a Dominic and it was on our list if we had a boy. Lovely name.

Jack. My Ds is called Jack and I just love the name, I don't care that it's popular Smile

Dominic

Dominic . While Jack is great it has been popular for quite a while so very many Jacks around my area. No to Felix.

Jack, then Felix. Not keen on Dominic.

Felix will always be a cat's name to me but I am in my 60s. Jack is good but there are alot of them around. Dominic is great.

cptartapp · 30/03/2019 20:20

Dominic. Then Jack.

Dominic is my favourite of your three.

Carolcool · 30/03/2019 20:11

Felix is the best, Jack is lovely but too popular, Dominic also great.

I love Felix!! It’s a gorgeous name. Think the cat association is with an older generation only. Younger people won’t have heard of it / know it. Go for it!!

BlueMerchant · 30/03/2019 20:08

I don't like Felix. I'm sorry but it is very feline.
When I hear Dominic I always think Domino's (childish I know)
I do like Jack. This is classic and strong.
