Just wondering your thoughts on this name?

I mentioned to OH last night when reeling off names and one i certainly thought he'd NEVER agree too! But he said he really likes it!

I think we'd settle on a girls name together quite agreeably (as he's now given the nod for Martha Susannah, or Flora Emily which i am over the moon with!)

We've never come across a Felix, but know far too many Alfies and Zachs (although i adore Zachariah!)

So the name is Felix?

I like it a lot. Know a few. Love its meaning.

NappiesandGladrags · 02/06/2012 13:02

Yes, sorry that wasn't very clear at the beginning was it ha ha? Felix

will most probably be Felix William (William after OH's grandad - would use it as a first name, BUT i'm a beggar for disliking nn's and not keen on Will or Wills for some reason lol!)

Thankyou Smile

i have met 2 Felixs, one in my sons nursery and the other my sisters cat

DogEared · 02/06/2012 13:12

Felix, to me, is a cat's name.

I know a Felix who is brother to Zac (Zachariah)

Hate the name Felix. Sorry but it just doesn't sound nice to me.

Martha Susannah is utterly gorgeous though.

Stellan · 02/06/2012 21:56

Martha Susannah is absolutely gorgeous - you have to use it if you get the opportunity! It's lovely. Flora Emily is pretty too but there's just something about Martha Susannah that really ticks my boxes.

Felix is nice too although it's not a personal favourite of mine. It works well in the UK and other European countries and will suit a man or boy. I think it's a good choice and has a lovely meaning - happy! Grin Asher apparently means happy too so you might want to give that one some consideration too.

If you like Felix, you might also like Finn, Sebastian, Arthur, Alexander, Oscar, Rufus, Caspar, Toby, Orlando, Willoughby, Rocco, Gabriel, Archie, William, Jack, Thomas, Maximilian, Charlie, Tobias, Oliver, Hugo, Rupert, Barnaby, Jasper, Robin, Milo, Kit, Monty, Luke, Rudy, Theo, Edward, Leon, Lucas, Dexter, Amos, Barnabas, Chester, Humphrey, Josiah, Otto, Phineas, Thaddeus, Atticus, Cassius, Cornelius, Magnus, Marcus, Lucius, Maximus, Justus, Julius, Ambrose, Lysander, Louis, Patrick, Silas, Titus, George, Matthew, Bruno, Angus, Max, Cosmo, Fredie, Nico, Soloman, Reuben, Gideon, Inigo, Otis, Sholto, and Rex. But, really, Felix is a fine choice.

The Felix cat food is in every supermarket.... How about Quentin or Casper?

AGreenie · 03/06/2012 07:30

I think Felix is a great name!

smother · 03/06/2012 08:59

Martha Susannah is divine!

Felix is ok. Used to like it a lot but can't get overexcited about it now.

What about Max?

NappiesandGladrags · 05/06/2012 22:55

Martha Susannah is a definate for a little lady then? Has taken me a while to convince OH on this but the more i say it the more he has fallen in love...

We already have a Gabriel (which was Oh's name choice, and one i vetoed a few years earlier for our daughter... Georgia

Max - i adore BUT we have a few friends and family with dogs of that name!

Felix- i don't know why - just a little 'different' to all the boys names we come across!

OH other suggestions are

William (but for me very safe!)
Jesse

I like:

Jude (he hates)
Sebastien (again he vetoes completley!)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/06/2012 23:01

I like both Jude and Sebastian.

How about Laurence/Laurie?

Tiddlyompompom · 05/06/2012 23:25

Definitely like Felix, I know a lovely one. Never gets shortened afaik.
Like both your girl options, great names.
Gabriel & Felix, Gabriel & Martha, Gabriel & Flora. Yup, they all work well! :)
Gabriel & Jesse sounds very Wild West!

NappiesandGladrags · 05/06/2012 23:31

Is wild west good? Ha ha, OH would LOVE that lol!

I love Felix, Jesse, William (love Billy as a nn), Jude and Sebastian. No so keen on Max.

And I adore Martha and Flora! We very nearly called dd2 Martha - we only didn't because it was so different from dd1's French name.
