Please be brutally honest........

[Pepper15]

I have name changed for this one,but I am a regular,in need of some help please.
I already have 2 children and pg with number 3,and pondering names.
I've always loved the name Felix but so far I haven't used it,due to the cat connotation,but I'm now very tempted.
The problem I now have (apart from the cat association) is that our eldest is called Oscar,but as this will be child number 3,obviously it won't just be Oscar and Felix,as I'll have a middle child.
Being a little older,the film The Odd Couple also springs to mind
Would just like people's opinion's please.Would you,or would it be a definate no-no? Thanks!

Oscar and Felix doesn't say anything to me except that I think they're the same type of name. So imo they go fine together.

I used to know a lovely German Felix...

God, no.
Is the other one called Tabby?

I don't know about The Odd Couple, but I'd think of cats. Sorry.

If I had to guess, I'd say your middle one was called Sylvester.

Or Rex. I love Oscar and felix

It would really depend on your middle childs name..if it's Tiddles I would say no

I think they're both lovely names and think having one in the middle helps IYSWIM. For example, I have an Adam and love the name Eve or Eva, will probably never get the chance to use them but wouldn't write it off completely as I would have a middle one too (although DH would veto that idea straight away so wouldn't get the chance!)

They are quite catty tbh.

I thought it was going to be something horrendous. Oscar is lovely. Felix, yes, same type of name - I'm not terribly keen but that's just me. It'll be fine. Oscar and Bradleee, now... Not keen and not fine.

I think of cats - mainly because my best childhood friend had 3 cats Oscar felix and Eddy, but they are normal boys names it's not like your calling him fluffy!

Oscar doesn't sound catty to me.

More doggy, tbh.

Love Felix. Wouldn't think of Odd Couple, and I am quite old

I love Felix - was on my list - go for it!

I don't get the Oscar cat thing?

Felix not to my taste, but agree a similar name to Oscar and def would not think of the Odd Couple

Thanks-we do have a cat called Sylvester and Tabitha is short listed on our girls names list
Our other child has a very 'normal' name and tbh I wouldn't even be thinking about the name Felix,if it was just him and Oscar.
I don't think it's the cat association that's bothering me too much now-just the film
Always nice to get other people's opinions.

Felix is lovely. A lovely name.

I love Felix, also love Tabitha too.

I've never heard of the Odd Couple.

I like Felix, but am not keen on Oscar or Tabitha.

Sorry OP, just remembered your eldest is an Oscar! Just have different taste I think.

That's ok-no offence taken

Oscar is lovely but doesn't make me think of cats. I don't like Felix.

I understand your concerns with having an Oscar, but I still love the name Felix. It's such a friendly name.

Oscar is a dogs name. Felix is a cats name.

Both very nice but too pet namey together.

I say thia someone who has a DS with a dogs name so had to be careful with ds2.

Winalot :o

Actually dh laughed at both Oscar and Felix due to the Odd Couple associations, so there are some people out there who do think of the film.

But I also agree that Oscar is also a common dog name and Felix is a brand of cat food....

Oscar is also a brand of cat food .....

nothing wrong with them and I got none of the animal associations. V. popular these days however, if that's a concern of yours. Three Felixes in DS's nursery.
