Last minute wobble!

Baby arrived a few hours ago! Hooray!
And we love the first name Felix but have wobbled on his middle name:
Felix Carter Stevenson?
Or
Felix Luka Stevenson?

Luka

IslaPineappple · 07/11/2021 13:56

Luca with a c. 100%

Congratulations, OP.

Carter is one of those slightly divisive names (I personally dislike it a lot) - so if you're not sure, I'd choose something else.

I'd have Felix StJohn Stevenson if I were you!

Lindy2 · 07/11/2021 09:27

Congratulations. Felix is a cool name.

Din't worry about it too much. No one will be particularly fussed about the middle name. Most people who aren't family won't even know what it is.

Both are nice but I personally prefer Carter.

peppersauce1984 · 07/11/2021 09:22

Prefer Luka and think it's a softer and nicer flow.

LadyWithLapdog · 07/11/2021 09:19

Carter in this case but both work. Congratulations!

Just10moreminutesplease · 07/11/2021 09:17

Congratulations! Flowers

I prefer Carter but both are lovely Smile. Enjoy your newborn snuggles and don’t worry too much about his middle name right now.

DoodleBelle · 07/11/2021 09:15

Congratulations, I prefer Carter

TheRosariojewels · 07/11/2021 09:14

If you’re not sure on either, I would choose something else.

Volterra · 06/11/2021 20:57

Congratulations! Personally I much prefer Luka

Jeschara · 05/11/2021 22:59

Felix Luka. I really do not like Carter.

SummerLew · 05/11/2021 15:48

Felix Luka

Onlinedilema · 05/11/2021 00:06

Carter

Bimblybomeyelash · 04/11/2021 21:11

I’m not a fan of Carter at all.

Synchrony · 04/11/2021 21:09

Carter.

Pregnant02 · 04/11/2021 21:06

Carter definitely! Congratulations

Pumpkinsonparade · 04/11/2021 19:17

Felix Carter.

Congratulations!

FlamingoDust · 04/11/2021 19:17

And congratulations!

FlamingoDust · 04/11/2021 19:16

Felix Luka

DramaAlpaca · 03/11/2021 00:11

Carter

Blubells · 02/11/2021 11:58

Felix Stevenson can sound like Felik Stevenson as the s rund into each other.

I like Luca Stevenson.

Zarene · 02/11/2021 06:43

I prefer Luka too! I assume with that spelling it's a traditional or family name? So much nicer to honour that than generic Carter.

GoodnightGrandma · 02/11/2021 06:39

I prefer Luka.
Congrats !

PanicBuyingSprouts · 02/11/2021 06:36

Congratulations! Agree that Felix Carter had a better flow Smile

WeDidntMeanToGoToSea · 02/11/2021 05:59

Congratulations!

Carter works a lot better and actually sounds quite distinguished (and I'm not ordinarily a fan of surnames as first names).
