Felix, Jack or Charlie?

[AButterflyLightsBesideUs]

Baby boy due in January and these are names DH and I both like. Opinions? Suggestions?

Jack

Jack is nice, so's Charlie.

Felix is a cat.

Jack or Charlie

Jack and Charlie are used a lot. Felix is much less common - as in popular, though I think it would be easier to wear in a leafy prep than an inner city comp.

DC2 was nearly Charlie but I went off it at the last minute.

I LOVE Felix. I wanted it for our son but OH vetoed it.

I also like Jack a lot, despite its popularity.

Not a fan of Charlie.

Charlie. Love it.

Jack.

Jack

Felix. Definitely.

Every other boy under the age of 5 round my way seems to be called Jack or Charlie. They were once very nice names now i just do an inward imaginary yawn. I really like Felix - I did originally think cat when I first heard it last year but it's grown on me massively

There are so many Jacks about but it is a nice name.

Round here Charlie is a bit 'chav' unfortunately.

Felix is nice.

I've wanted a Felix for years, ever since reading Georgette Heyer's Frederica, fully expected DH to veto it - he didn't but was unsure then after a week or so said it was really growing on him. Charlie he likes more than me, and Jack we both like. Thing is Jack was a contender for the boy we lost last year so that makes it a bit more difficult IYSWIM.

I hate naming babies, it's really hard! DD has a top 20 name and that's never bothered me but we've never actually encountered another child with her name.

And as far as the cat thing goes, I used to have a cat called Charlie, so that's the cat name to me!

Another vote for Felix it's top of our list for DS2 due in December. I was concerned about the cat connotations too but it seems to be becoming a bit more common for that not to be a problem (but not enough so he'll be 1 of 10 in his class!

Jack. I have one! Strangely not that popular here (cambridgeshire). For two years my Jack was the only Jack in his school. Now there is one other but tons of Harry's, Williams and Oliver's! I wouldn't let popularity put you off a name, it can be regional.

Felix. I would have loved to use it myself.

Jacks are ten a penny and I've never liked Charlie.

Felix, it's what DD2 would've been called had she been a boy. Love it!

Felix

Felix is a great name!

We have a 4 yr old Felix. I haven't had a single comment about cats or cat food

(But it did put me off using tabitha for No2)

at not using Tabitha. This is the last baby so no further names to consider. Had this one been a girl though I would have been making a case for Cleo, which according to DH is a cat name too.

I'm glad to see Felix is generally considered a nice name. I think it's the one, but it's a bit "braver" than the others and that was giving me cold feet.

Felix William is what we are thinking at the moment.

Felix!
