I really like all these, but DP comments are:

Felix - miaow?
Christian - too feminine?
Patrick - odd for a little boy?

Patrick is by far the nicest IMO... by a country mile!

MrsJohnDeere · 01/08/2010 19:28

Christian nicest of the bunch IMO.

The two I know (adults) are tall, sporty, and rather handsome.

BelligerentGhoul · 01/08/2010 19:29

Christian

moonminmama · 01/08/2010 19:34

i agree with your dh on Felix, the firsst thing i think of is a cat (sorry)

I do however like both Patrick and Christian.
I know of (and am a big fan of a rugby league player called Pat) so great name for a little boy, I also know a Christian who is a 13 year old boxer!

LaundryLyne · 01/08/2010 19:37

I like Christian and Felix.

Christian

redsky · 01/08/2010 19:52

I like Patrick most, then Christian, and least favourite would be Felix

Love Patrick.

Not so keen on the other two. Probably Christian is nicer, if pushed.

pozzling · 01/08/2010 20:00

I like Patrick, not too sure about the others though.

pointydog · 01/08/2010 20:09

oo Patrick, I love patrick

NiceCuppaT · 01/08/2010 20:23

Like all three, but would say Christian then patrick (paddy) then felix

PaulineCampbellJones · 01/08/2010 20:35

Love Patrick (Paddy)

Ibizadreams · 01/08/2010 22:13

I love Felix. Not too keen on the other two.

Patrick is and underused classic, I love that. It'll never date.

Felix I like but it will date.

Christian I like but there's something about nailing your colours to the mast.... I mean, I presume you're not Jewish, and really, I don't want to know just from your name.. Maybe I'm over-analysing this. It is a nice name, but I wouldn't use it.

vouvrey · 02/08/2010 04:38

Christian, it sounds nice

Not Felix (the cat and too trendy) nor Patrick (unless you are Irish)

nooka · 02/08/2010 05:06

Patrick.
I don't think that Christian is feminine, I just prefer Christopher (esp Kit).
Felix is not my cup of tea, and seems to have become quite popular.

nancydrewrocked · 02/08/2010 06:28

I had a Felix. Love the name. Don't like Patrick or Christian.

mamaloco · 02/08/2010 06:39

agree with felix, and the cat.
Patrick is nice.
christophe instead of christian (are you confortable with the religious connection? i.e. it is a bit weird to have a crist- is you are bouddhist, atheist or jewish, if you see my drift)

cinnamongreyhound · 02/08/2010 12:16

Felix does say cat to me and I know a man who's Felix and he's quite strange which puts me off.

I don't think Christian is feminine and I like it.

Patrick is my favourite of the three!

emmyloo2 · 02/08/2010 13:05

Patrick, Christian, Felix in that order.
Patrick is definitely my favourite by a long shot. NN Paddy. Love it!

Felix...not keen on the other 2

Easywriter · 02/08/2010 18:01

Felix - every time!
A top name.

I don't really care for the other two.

FellatioNelson · 02/08/2010 18:01

I really like them all. My DS's middle name is Patrick.
