Which do you prefer of Max or Felix and why?

Any associations you have with either name?

Thanks!

I like both names.
I prefer Felix - great name and meaning - but the cat food puts me off, so I'd have to go with Max.

Felix is a very well known brand of cat food 🐈 in the UK.

Maximilian nickname Max is better for a human.

Max is a dog’s name, Felix is a cat’s name.

Max! 😊

Felix, I love names that could equally be pet names! I think Max is a bit popular as well and I prefer slightly less used names.

Max! But I am biased 🙃

We we’re going to go with the full Maximilian but we thought that was a bit much.

what do we call him though? Maximilian 🤣

Depends on whether you're having a dog or a cat sorry

Max

It’s a solid neutral name, like a less overused Jack. I do prefer it as a diminutive of Maximilian though

Felix isn’t awful awful but I don’t like it and it makes me think of cats

Maximus.
Max is a ddog's name .
Felix is a dcat.

There are a lot of Max's aged around 15-18. Felix is more unusual. So I think I would go with Felix.

Are you having a baby or a cat? Grin

I do like Max, though.
