Alexander, Edward or Felix?

[Christmasbelle]

Discussing boys names with SIL. Which do you prefer and do you know any?

Thanks

Alexander.

I like Felix the most of those three. I know two little Alexanders and one little Edward (and a few grown up ones of each, too).

Felix. Don't like Alexander but love Xander.

Felix is a cat food...

I know loads of Alexanders, a couple of Edwards, no Felix, but would also think cat food.

I like all of them :)

Not Edward.

Edward
Alexander

Felix

Felix is so middle-class trendy and I just hear Fee-licks.

Edward is brilliant.

Felixes I know are all very, very naughty!
I like Edward as you can have so many short versions. And Alexander is DS1's middle name, v good.

Edward and Alexander both great not felix.

Anyone who owns a cat will not get away from the cat food association I guess.

Edward and Alexander are both safe names, which I personally find a little dull.

Edward and Alexander are nice. Lots of possible nn's.

Edward.

Love the nn Ned for Edward.

Edward, Felix is a bit too 'now' for me.

Ed is a great nickname.[biased]

I'd choose edward because I love the name Ed or Eddie.

I like Alexander because I like Alex a lot.

Can't be doing with Felix.

Don't really like Felix.

Love Alexander and Xander but really don't like Alex, so for that reason I'd probably say Edward.

Ooh Ned is lovely Hulababy...not a nn for Edward that sprang to mind but its really nice and different.

I much prefer it to Ed or Eddie.

My baby due May is going to be Felix,

I like that someone said Felix's are naughty, he already kicks the hell out of me so i think it may be true!

You can't use Ned in scotland.

Alexander every time. Timeless and classical.

Edward. It will take him anywhere.

Lots of little Felixes (Feli?) round here and I have an irrational loathing of Alexander.

felix is a trendy name that I think will date very quickly. While Alexander and Edward are both timeless classics.

Hi all. Thanks for the responses. I think that Alexander Edward may be the winning name at the moment. Xander would be the name used as a shorterned version, which I think is lovely.

Although personally, I think Edward Alexander rolls off the tongue a little better but obviously it is her choice in the end . She does love Felix but was a little worried that it may date quicker than the other two names, although she has also been considering Alexander Felix. Mmmmmm we shall see

My Ds2 is Edward Alexander
