Felix?

What do you think for a boys' name?

I want something unusual / quirky but not so much that he'll get bullied. Other DS is called Theo.

Other options are; Rory, Xander (friends have these though)

No other ideas!

I don't think its that unusual or quirky, but its nice all the same. I have met a few boys called Felix.

Great name, I like it :)

I wanted it for a boys name but DH said no as he has a friend called Felix. I think it's great.

Xavier, Jasper, Rufus, Rafferty may be other names to consider and I really like Felix

Unless you have a cat - the cat food is too strong an association otherwise imo.

Unusual and quirky boys names - how about Bruno, Raphael, Quentin, Thaddeus, Milo?

Each to his own... but a no from me. Just don't like it. Xander is even worse. Rory at a push...

Like Theo though!

I know a Theo with a younger brother Felix and think they go nicely together. Has a bit of a cat connotation but not overwhelmingly esp if you are not a cat owning family.

I have a Theo and DC2 would have been Felix Henry (though my DH said Felix was a cat's name but had no other suggestions) until it turned out to be a DD. I love the name.

Absolutely love it. It's one of two names we have picked out for DS2 in September. Ignore the cat comments.

Hmm it's not for me, sorry I'm stuck on the cat connection, but what do I know? Do you have middle name ideas? How do they roll together?

PuffPants · 02/08/2012 00:41

I know brothers called Felix and Oscar - weird combination don't you think? And they don't even have cats.

Love it.
