Felix?

Thoughts please? DD is Alice so we are desperately searching for a lovely, but slightly unusual name. We love Oliver and Samuel but there are zillions of them. We've lingered a long time on Arthur but I want another option or two. DS due in 2 weeks.

DH won't have anything that's too 'foreign' - has to be English basically!

So - Felix???? Thoughts please.

Thanks

I also like Felix but my DH says it's a cat's name too

Also like Arthur, Albert, Milo.

I have to suggest Nicholas too as I have sibs with these names (Alice and Nicholas).

Thanks everyone. Latin is fine, I meant that he won't countenance anything like Luca or Xavier - you know, obviously 'foreign' names. he's just a bit pro-your-own-heritage when it comes to naming, rather than going to other (modern) countries for inspiration...Latin is fine. I even managed to get Aurelia on the shortlist for DD!

Great feedback though, thanks. Keep on coming!

Felix is Latin, not English.

I prefer Alice and Arthur!

I LOVE Felix - one of my faves. Alice and Felix sound nice

moosemama · 10/07/2009 20:31

Edward? That sounds nice with Alice and is a traditional English name.

nigglewiggle · 10/07/2009 20:30

I did think CAT

I like Arthur and I like Zippy's suggestion of Albert (what DD's would have been if not DD's).

love it

i knew a Felix when I was younger, cheeky as hell but a lovely man.

Milo?

love Felix. dh vetoed it on cat grounds. although I managed to get it as ds2s middle name.

ZippysMum · 10/07/2009 20:27

I love Felix - but DH veto'd on the cat food grounds.

What about:
Rory
Max
Riley
Eli
Albert / Bertie
