We know we really love Felix. Can anyone suggest some girls names we might like as we are really stuck!

Thanks so much everyone!

I really love Zara but worry about the association with the shop.

I also like Hazel but is it a bit eighties?

I love Clementine but DH doesn’t sadly

Theodora and Cleo are also contenders. Cute to have a little girl with the nickname Theo?

I presume you don't want it to be too similar to Felix in case you have a boy later on.

Perpétua ( was the companion in martyrdom of Félicitas) . A steadfast heroine.

there is a lovely rose named after them__

I would also suggest Felicia or Felicity. Aren't they also the female forms of Felix?

I agree that Felicia and Felicity are the female forms of Felix, but to me they kind of give off a different vibe than Felix. So I don't think that just because you like the name Felix that you would necessarily like the name Felicity.

They are all beautiful names, though!
