Felix or Jasper?

Week old baby boy can't decide on his name, siblings are Cecelia and Owen.

Choosing now between Felix or Jasper, I know some people consider them to be pets names or whatever but that doesn't bother me.

Middle name will be Thomas and our surname is long and double barrelled starting with an L.

These were both in our top 3 names, and loved them both equally. We went with the third choice in the end, but if we ever miraculously had another son, I think we’d use Jasper.

As a sibling set, I think Jasper goes best. Mainly because Cecelia and Felix both have the same “eli” sound.

That might sound like weird logic but there you go!

This is the exact reason I'm hesitating on Felix! I feel like the nicknames would be too similar sounding, We call her Ce lots and I feel like I would end up calling him Fe and it would just be too similar

I like both. Overall though I’d probably err on the side of Jasper to avoid the cat food association.
