Felix - cat (food) association too strong?

Hi all

Just that really.

I adore the name but DH thinks it’s just cat food or alternatively the name of a cat.

I don’t agree and even if that was the case we would soon shed any feline associations because it would be the name of our gorgeous son instead!

Brother is Rupert.

Welcome any thoughts!

I'd say so, yes.

I do know one elderly man called Felix and think it's a great name. I guess because he was born prior to the cat food he gets away with it.

But little Felix's (age 5 and under) are a dime a dozen where I am and I always think of the cat food when I hear it and I know I'm not the only one.

It's a fairly popular boy's name., it's not like you are suggesting Sheba or Whiskas

It's a fairly common boys name but yes my first thought is the pet food. However it's irrelevant what we think it sounds like your DH isn't a fan so it's not on the table as an option regardless.
