Cat food springs to mind. It wouldn't be my choice at all, but I don't dislike it.

Ugly.

Love it. Went to school with one, who will be mid 40s by now, and my friend has one who is 5.

My DH loves Felix as it's his Dad's middle name (italian). I like it now through familiarity and association, but my first thought about it was 'cat' and 'cat food'

I love it. Many years ago I looked after a little boy called Felix, he's now a fantastic young man!

Love it

Bubbletrouble43 · 01/08/2019 21:44

I like it. I know two, both in early 30s. Quite a cool name imo.

One of the girls on my NCT group had a baby boy called Felix 9 weeks ago. Personally, I think it's too hipster and "try hard". Sorry OP.

Handsmaid · 01/08/2019 21:42

Sorry awful

Love Felix and Rufus although both are associated with pets. If you like it don't worry it stands out.

Great name.....

for a cat 🐱

Love it! As a teenager, some 20 years ago, i worked with a super cool and gorgeous guy called Felix. The girls all swooned over him and he was utterly lovely too. Wink

Cat / cat food

feliciabirthgiver · 01/08/2019 21:35

I'm in the love it camp

challengeyourreality · 01/08/2019 21:35

Best boys name ever

MollyHuaCha · 01/08/2019 21:34

I like it.

pilates · 01/08/2019 21:34

Dislike, sorry

polkadotpixie · 01/08/2019 21:32

I like it for a baby/child but I don't think it suits a grown man and doesn't pass the shout your mate across the pub test

helpmum2003 · 01/08/2019 21:14

I like it but DH also said it's a cat's name....

Peachbubble · 01/08/2019 21:12

I like it

DramaAlpaca · 01/08/2019 20:49

Not my style at all. And I associate it with the cat food. Sorry.

barnyb · 01/08/2019 20:47

HeadintheiClouds · 01/08/2019 20:44

Cat’s name
