Almost named our 4 day old boy - need opinions!

[SlouchingPanda]

So, Junior Panda almost has a name... DH prefers one, I prefer another. It's DEADLOCK - we need your help!

1. Aubin Laurence Stephen [2 syllable surname starting with A]
2. Felix Laurence Stephen [same surname]
3. They're both hideous
4. Either is good

Stephen as you might guess is a non-negotiable family name. I won't say who prefers which but would love to hear your thoughts.

I vote Felix

I also like Gabriel and Bartholomew.

I love Felix, DH has the cat fixation but can't say it bothers me. I think its a lovely name. Not so keen on Aubin sorry. Have you thought about Aubry? Not to everyone's taste but I came across it while looking at 1920's boys names and think its quite cute.

Another vote for Felix

Aubin is meh, and terrible with an A surname.
Felix is ok-ish not my choice but I can see it might suit some babies.

Gabriel is fabulous, pick that!!!

Aubin is quite horrible but far far better than Auberon or Aubrey which both sound wet. Aubin would be fine as a middle name. Felix is too trendy for my taste though it is a nice name.

I prefer Aubin.

Haven't actually heard it before, but I actually really like it! (My choices are normally very safe!)

I would perhaps prefer it as a middle name though - Laurence Aubin Stephen is my favourite combo.

Not a fan of Felix

I don't like either in its entirety. Felix is nice but not keen on the Laurence Stephen (too Stephen Laurence for me)

Laurence or Lawrence is Lovely

Sorry.

Love Gabriel. I also like Laurence and Stephen. Felix is my favourite of the original 2 but not overly keen on either personally.

What about Laurence Felix Stephen?

Not keen on Aubin, too like auburn.

Felix, not keen at all, sorry.

How about Anselm?

Another 3 sorry!
Love Gabriel and Gabe as an abbreviation.
Felix is a bit wet IMHO and Aubin is just too unusual, I would hate to have a name that makes people go 'eh? How do you spell that?

Felix is great! :)

People's preferences are very funny. I like Felix quite a lot and think Aubin is interesting and would grow on me. But I REALLY dislike Laurence as a first name and think Laurie as a nn for it is terrible, so I clearly go against the grain on this thread.

Oh and by funny I meant it's interesting how different people's tastes are.

I've never heard Aubin but quite like it!
Not as keen on Felix but it's not terrible. Don't like Laurence.

But love Laurence as a first name.

I'm pronouncing it Or-bin?

Either way it's 3 here too although Felix if I had to choose

Just caught up on the rest of the thread lol.

Gabriel is lovely :)
It is interesting to get opinions but please go with what you love!

I love the name Felix, it's easy to say, there won't be three in his class at school and for those who think cats, I know a Felix and it's defo not something I EVER associate with him. I like Aubin, but don't know how to say it.

I don't particularly like either of your top 2, but if pushed I'd go Felix as I really don't like Aubin.

Love Gabriel though, go for that!

Love Felix

I prefer the first one, I know quite a few Felix's now.

Ooh my first boyfriend was called Felix he was Swiss and nicknamed Fewx ! Lovely name
