Are Fox and Felix too similar?

[persephoneplum]

Keeping in mind there's another brother in the mix (Theodore), do you think Fox and Felix are too similar to be brothers? Does it really matter?

Is fox a name? And do you want a Fox and a Teddy?

Not for me < gavel>

Theodore is never Teddy.

Yes Fox is a name - that wasn't the question.

yes I think they're too similar - starting and ending with the same letter, a bit too much in my opinion.

I don't think they're too close.

Go for it.

I didn't know Fox was a name, but actually I like it (which wasn't your question, I know, before you tell me). But I think it is too close to Felix. And it sounds like there should be a character Felix the fox. And the three names together is a bit of a mouthful. Felix, fox, and theodore all sound very alike.

Yes they are too similar.

Yes too similar, sorry.

Meh, I like it.

I don't think anyone ever used to worry about names being too similar. I know plenty of siblings who all have very similar names. Like a family theme. It's seems very normal?

Too similar, especially as Theodore is quite different. Without Theodore, perhaps, but I don't suppose you were thinking of getting rid of him?

Too similar IMO

Do you care though?

Someone that would call a child Fox doesn't strike me as someone who is that bothered about opinions.

I really like Theodore though.

So, Theodore is associated with bears, Felix with cats, what about Reynard, which is associated with foxes?

They are very similar but not in a ridiculous way like say Emma & Gemma?

I think probably I wouldn't chose such similar names but wouldn't give it any more than a few seconds thought if someone else did.

Nice passive aggressive there Amber.

I don't think they are too similar, but then I like boys names with an x sound. DS's first name ends in x and his second middle name has an x in the middle. If either DD1 or DD2 were a DS they would have had one x-ending name as their second middle name.

Not at all Sneakybiscuiteater, I meant it sincerely.

A bit close, a childhood spent saying "no I'm Felix, he's Fox" and vice versa. But not a big deal!

Like Felix better as it just means Happy.

ps if you thinking of keeping chickens, ever, Fox is not the kindest name.

I actually think you could get away with it if it was just felix and fox. They are alike but like another post says, not in a ridiculous way.
It's the fox, felix and Theodore that sounds a bit odd I'm afraid. Makes Theodore sound odd when actually it's a lovely name

Much too similar for me.

Too similar.

I also think it is an odd choice considering the other names you like are Felix & Theodore, which I certainly see as classic boys' names. I'd expect Fox to have brothers called Grover, Phoenix, Spike, Hunter, River, etc. It just jars a little with me since it's so outlandish compared to your two rather traditional/conservative picks.

I like the name Fox but foxes are increasingly considered vermin so I couldn't name a child that ... Shame because its a pretty cool name

Yes, they are too similar. And, also, Fox is a diabolical name.

Agree with too similar, but love Reynard.

I think you would end up with Felix, fox, and feodore from all their little friends! Otherwise I like it.

So do you already have a Theodore and a Fox, or a Theodore and a Felix?

And Renard is far better than Raynard.
