I thought we had decided :(

I thought we were settled on Felix Arthur (section in 16 days) but sent a text today to DH suggesting Felix Oscar.

He now prefers Oscar Felix and says he likes Oscar a lot more than Felix.

I know we can wait until we see what he looks like but what does the MN jury think?

Felix Oscar
Oscar Felix

Hmm. I'd keep Arthur, as Felix Oscar and Oscar Felix make me think of police call signs (and I know they would be Foxtrot Oscar, but that's what came into my mind).

Also, round here Oscar is the default boy's name, like John or Peter in the 70s.

Wait and see what he looks like. You might change your minds again and call him something totally different.

When it's a close run thing though, I'm afraid I do think the mum has the final say - perk of the job for giving birth!

Agree that you should say you will bear both in mind and see what he looks like when born.
If you prefer Felix Oscar (I do too) then he WILL look like a Felix Oscar

I think keep an open mind and see what the baby looks like when he arrives

ha ha
more fool you for suggesting something else!

i like the first one not the other two

Felix Oscar

(to me, Oscar is a dogs name more than Felix is a cats name)

I think they're both nice and think you should wait and see if he looks like a Felix or Oscar

don't let it worry you at this late stage
