Felix with Lix as a nn.

Or has a cat food connection still too alive and kicking for it to work?

Love it. DH won't be persuaded though, so please use it on my behalf.

My DD is in love with Felix in her class. This may encourage or put you off Grin

Cat food for me (we have a cat), but otherwise a nice name. Not sure about lix - sounds like licks.

Felix is a nice name, but Lix sounds odd. Probably unique, though.

I've known a few boys called Felix, and the only time I have been a bit Hmm was at the one whose mother was known as Katty.

I think it's a lovely name.

I know quite a few aged about 10, but no younger ones.

I like it but not Lix. And depends on other names in the family. I think someone on here once considered siblings called Felix and Kitty which I thought was rather daft

Felix is very nice. Lix (licks) is horrible.

collegedropout · 31/10/2011 22:41

I like Felix, agree that Lix isn't a great idea!

EightiesChickOrTreat · 31/10/2011 22:43

Agree not 'Lix' as a nickname. Imagine shouting it in the playground!

wonderstuff · 31/10/2011 22:44

Its a cat food though!

jasonlovesme · 01/11/2011 10:09

I suppose Lix because we are a fan of shortening names and Fe/Fel don't really float our boat.
And thankfull sn isn't black :P

Felix is a lovely name - go for it! There is an association with cats but not strong enough that it should put you off in my opinion. I'm afraid Lix isn't great at all - sounds really pervy...sorry!

Like the name Felix but not nn - bit weird

I like it - agree lix is weird, so Flick/Flix is fine.
