Sister for Felix?

70 replies

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 16/08/2017 11:59

Just found out that we're having a girl and looking for name inspiration! Ds is Felix William Arthur. Felix ticked all the boxes for me - a slightly quirky name but one with a long history. And it really suits ds which is the most important thing!

DH and I had quite a few arguments discussions before settling on Felix - I'm hoping it's going to be a friendlier process this time! The only name that we've vaguely discussed in the past is Matilda.

Would love some suggestions!

I know a Felix whose sister is Verity. I think they go well together.

Felix was on my list for a boy.

Our girls shortlist was

Sophie, Phoebe, Abigail and Melissa.

I like Verity, but my name begins with a 'V' as well which puts me off slightly.

DH really likes Phoebe. But I wonder if Felix and Phoebe (both 'F' sounds and 2 syllables) might be a but 'cutesy'? Sophie is definitely on the list!

I thought Annabelle when I saw the name Felix.

Elizabeth sprung to mind.

Matilda goes well.

Don't call her Kitty Grin

My first thought was Felicia, but that might be too matchy.

We know 2 x Felixs with sisters called Bella.

I have a massive problem with liking 'cat' names which is weird as I am definitely a dog person! Sadly, have ruled out Kitty, Tabitha, Leonie...!

I really like Elizabeth with nn Eliza - I think Felix and Eliza sound really nice together.

DH loves Annabelle... I prefer Arabella... So sadly that probably rules them both out as neither of us will give but I've put Arabella on the list! Would be nn Bella.

Alice, Odette and Juliet are going on the list!

Really like Ivy/Iris as a middle name.

My list is getting there!

Instead of Alice, I think Lois matches Felix better.
Odette sounds like a contraceptive pill sorry.
Sadie and Felix sounds good.

Love Juliet. Beautiful name.

Chatoyant · 16/08/2017 14:14

Don't rule out Tabitha! My fave name but DH wouldn't agree!
