Not keen on felix Or Emmet.

Prefer Noah to Jonah

Helenbelena · 01/08/2026 16:54

I don’t really like any of them.

If I had to choose, probably Jonah.

Felix is a well known brand of cat food on the UK

I prefer Finn to Finley, which seems a bit wet. Finbar makes me think of Viz.

Don't like Emmett. It doesn't sound nice and the only one I can think of is Emmett Till who was lynched.

Not keen on Felix either, but the rest are all good, solid choices. If you decide on Finn, I'd probably use it as a shortening for Finlay or Finbar.

I thought the same thing but decided to keep that thought to myself.

Charlie/Charles - great
Emmett - dreadful
Finn - ok but there are lots of Finleys. Slightly bad boy vibes
Felix - ok but the cats eat it
Jonah - negative connotations
Joseph - fine if you like Joe

Bristolandlazy · 01/08/2026 15:32

Not a fan of Emmett the rest are all fine.

Calliopespa · 01/08/2026 15:30

I like Charles best followed by Charlie and Joseph.

After that Finn and Felix.

Not so fond of Jonah sorry, and really do not like Emmett at all.
