We have narrowed the choice down to two names.
Which one do you prefer??
Jonah Wolf
or
Felix Walker

Felix but maybe not with Wolf

Felix Jonah?

Amz6219 · 27/07/2021 16:20

Felix

You don’t have to...

@PieceOfString

I'd wait until baby was born and see which one he suited. 😁 My ds had a short list, we couldn't agree, then when he was born there was only one name it could be. Now it's totally him.
I agree with the very first comment. You have to decide before the baby is born.

Middle names are a bit game of thrones - white walkers and the wolves they had as pets. Jonah or Felix are both good first names. Not sure that helps!

There's an animated movie called Wolf Walkers. Was nominated for an Oscar this year. It's fantastic!

Wolf Walker Grin
Would be a good Netflix movie

I love Jonah…actually know two born in the last month! As for the meaning I wouldn’t worry too much, I got a lot of people saying about the negative connotations of my son’s name (Jude) on here but I get nothing but positive comments (well to my face anyway😂) and I actually think Jonah Wolf is a really cool name.

PattyPan · 26/07/2021 18:41

I love Felix. Jonah is ok. Walker and Wolf are truly dreadful - they are just words, maybe surnames but not first names.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 26/07/2021 17:28

Of the two, Felix for me. I'd be really tempted by Felix Wolf though (unless Walker is a family surname) - Wolf is a very cool middle name imo and I don't especially associate cats with Felix personally.

FadoFado · 26/07/2021 17:14

I much prefer Jonah to Felix. Sounds more solid.

Viviennemary · 26/07/2021 16:49

They are both truly dire. Sorry but neither one is any better then the other. Sound like names from a bad pop song from the 70s

Movinghouseatlast · 26/07/2021 16:45

Wolf? Seriously, Wolf? As its a middle name it won't get used so yes, Felix is OK.

Cindie943811A · 26/07/2021 16:41

What about Jonas .or Josiah?
I’m afraid Jonah has a strong association with bad luck for me.
I think Felix is a great name

drumandthebass · 26/07/2021 16:28

I agree that Joanh Wolf sounds like a wrestling name. Also I only think of cat food when I hear Felix.

I don't like Walker either as its a surname

MooseBreath · 26/07/2021 16:22

I really like them both!

I think Jonah is currently less common, so I'd likely go with that.

Maggiemay92 · 26/07/2021 11:42

I love both first names but not the middles, just not my style. Jonah slightly beats Felix.

PeaAndHamSoupFromAChicken · 26/07/2021 11:34

I think Jonas is nicer than Jonah but I know it's personal taste there.

What about Felix Jonas?

dopeyduck · 26/07/2021 05:58

100% Felix Wolf

miltonj · 26/07/2021 05:55

Love Felix.

Don't like the middle names. I think a family name would be good in the middle. Or a classic name.

Felix John
Felix James
Felix George
Felix Paul
Felix William

wandawaves · 26/07/2021 05:47

Jonah is the only name there that I consider an option for a child. The other 3 names are awful, sorry.

YesDisney · 26/07/2021 05:42

I’ve got a Jonah so that’s my vote.

sarah13xx · 26/07/2021 05:33

I’d go Felix

DalPalak · 26/07/2021 04:37

Jonah Wolf is great. I love Wolf.

Seesawmummadaw · 26/07/2021 01:10

Scrap the middle names and use the first ones.
