All lovely. Wilfred is my favourite.

Hooleywhipper · 12/09/2017 12:03

Henry
Felix
Monty
Wilfred in order of preference however love them all.

ChocolateCrunch · 12/09/2017 12:20

Not much help I'm afraid, as I like them all, but Felix and Wilfred in front by a gnat's whisker.

Mum2OneTeen · 12/09/2017 12:23

Felix (I know a Felix and he's a lovely boy)

kingfishergreen · 12/09/2017 12:30

My order of preference would be:

  1. Henry
  2. Felix
  3. Montgomery
  4. Wilfred
grufallosfriend · 12/09/2017 12:47

Montgomery is very cool.

Henry is quite dull and Felix is a well known cat food brand in the U.K.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/09/2017 12:49

Don't like any sorry, but Henry is bar far the nicest

Jooni · 12/09/2017 12:51

I love Felix.

Henry is nice but quite safe. Wilfred is a bit stodgy but I love Wilf. Really don't like Montgomery (Burns) but Monty is quite cute.

SirNiallDementia · 12/09/2017 13:02

Henry is my favourite

SilverForest · 12/09/2017 13:11

Woody
Fox

euanthesheepiloveyou · 12/09/2017 13:13

Monty is lovely but would you ever use his full name? Can you imagine calling him across the park? I love Felix & Wilfred is cool. Henry is OK but fairly popular. All good names OP! Sorry - not much use!

beaveringaways · 12/09/2017 13:16

We'd probably use Wilf a lot day to day too as I love that, I'd hope that people wouldnt shorten it to Will as he got older.
DH loves Felix, as a PP said I just think of cats and just can't get myself to the point where my firstborn will be a Felix but he loves the name so trying to mull it over.

Needalifeoverhaul · 12/09/2017 13:17

I love them all but in order of preference
1 Felix
2 Montgomery (Monty)
3 Wilfred
4 Henry

Ttbb · 12/09/2017 13:23

Montgomery sounds really nice but makes me think of uncle monty
Felix I also like but it is a cat name.
The rest are very nice though.

starkid · 12/09/2017 13:28

I like Henry, not sure on the rest.

Montsti · 12/09/2017 13:55

Henry
Montgomery
Felix
Wilfred

What is your girls name? Might help in choosing..

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 12/09/2017 14:03

I have a Felix and he is gorgeous. We love his name two years on and he seems to really like it too!

FYI, Felix is not a cat's name. It's a human name which people sometimes give to cats.

CakeRattleandRoll · 12/09/2017 14:37

Love Felix.

grufallosfriend · 12/09/2017 16:16

Felix isn't necessarily a cars name, it's a brand of cat food (in the U.K.).

grufallosfriend · 12/09/2017 16:16

Sorry cats (not cars)

MammieBear · 12/09/2017 16:39

As I always say names where used for HUMANS long before animals, the reason Felix has a more cat connotation than alot of other names is the fact St. Felix could apparently communicate with animals namely Felines.

peainapodpretty · 12/09/2017 17:33

Like Henry, Felix and Wilfred.

Montgomery is pretentious (sorry!)

Like Montsti said, what is your girl's name?

beaveringaways · 12/09/2017 18:09

Don't worry no offence taken I'm here for all the opinions possible! Smile
Girls name is Matilda

OP posts:
Glumglowworm · 12/09/2017 18:46

I only like Henry out of those

MrsHathaway · 12/09/2017 19:07

Wilf or Henry.

Felix and Monty are both cats.
