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?

Yes, I would have a Felix, Theodore (existing sons) and Jarvis (new baby due March 2013).

I was trying out Fox for a while for the new baby - but my husband is desperate to call this boy Wolfgang (Wolf, Wolfie). While I dismissed it before now, I can see how much he wants it, so am seriously considering it.

I'm not at all concerned with the names fitting perfectly together as a set, in terms of era or feel. I treat each of my babies individually when it comes to naming - it opens up amazing possibilities :)

Love Wolfie!

Phew, I was worried you already had a Fox Wolfgang is quite... a brave choice I think. Might be quite hard for a child to pull off? Jarvis is nice, but I think of Cocker straight away - Jasper, Jago are good too.

yes too similar. i can imagine nick naming a Felix Fox so, no.

What about Rex

Yes too similar.

Fox Mulder from the X Files for those wondering if it's a real name

Jarvis is good I think.

I quite like the Wolf part but not the gang of Wolfgang. You could be brave and consider old-English names like Wulfric, Wulfstan etc

Yes, I'm also not all that partial to Wolfgang itself, but don't mind Wolf and Wolfie. Even a few weeks ago I wouldn't consider it at all, but find myself warming to it. I am trying to get my husband to consider Wolfram in place of Wolgang.

Unfortunately there's a 'ck' in the last name, so Wulfric simply doesn't go :( Rex I find similar to Felix and wish to move right away from anything with x in it now. Love Jago, but I have a Theo - too matchy. Ugh!

Jarvis Cocker is exactly why I love the name Jarvis :) He is such a talent and seems like such an all-round nice guy from what I've seen of his documentaries and anecdotal evidence from interviews etc. I really admire him.

We'll be taking three names to the hospital:

Wolfgang or Wolfram (to be known as Wolf, Wolfie)

Jarvis (my pick)

Christopher (Kit) - this is unlikely to be used as a first name but will definitely be middle. It's my father's name.
