Seriously struggling with names here.

Baby boy is due in 10 days and we can't decide between two names, please help.

Choices are

Felix Albert

What does everyone think?

Don't like either but Felix Albert is by far the nicest. Although it's better the other way around

ZebraKid71 · 12/06/2018 22:57

Can I vote for Felix Edward?

I'm not a fan of Albert.
Chester Edward doesn't really flow very well to me, but I'm not entirely sure why!

Felix Edward

Felix Albert

What lovely names! Felix is gorgeous and goes really well with either Albert or Edward. Chester is very unusual I think? Also nice, although I'd assume American for some reason (not that that's a bad thing!)
I'd have seriously considered Felix myself for our son but it doesn't work with our surname. So that gets my vote.

Felix Edward.

Don't like either, but Chester is especially awful.

LoveInTokyo · 12/06/2018 23:09

Felix by miles.

Don’t like Chester at all.

Sophronia · 12/06/2018 23:21

Felix Albert

MollyHuaCha · 12/06/2018 23:24

Edward is lovely.

Felix is ok.

Albert is ok.

Chester is not ok.

Picknickers · 12/06/2018 23:26

I like both but Felix has such a lovely meaning so that pips it for me.

Bubblesoup · 13/06/2018 02:12

I really dislike Chester sorry. And not keen on Felix. Albert and Edward are lovely.

So my vote is Felix Albert.

TroubledLichen · 13/06/2018 02:20

I much prefer Edward and at a push Albert as first names. But if it has to be one of the two combinations you’ve given then definitely Felix Albert. Chester is awful, it makes me think of an elderly American man.

Puffycat · 13/06/2018 02:20

I’m going with Felix Albert

Puffycat · 13/06/2018 02:22

Agree with Troubled Chester sounds like he should be sitting on a porch in a rocking chair in Florida 😳

Puffycat · 13/06/2018 02:23

Fave of all names is Albert

AnyaMoondial · 13/06/2018 02:24

Another vote for Felix Edward. It's brilliant Smile

AdaColeman · 13/06/2018 02:24

Felix Albert! Super name!

Not keen on Chester, the child might be nicknamed Draws at school.

Icklepup · 13/06/2018 03:08

Felix Albert although Edward would be better.

Vintagegirl77 · 13/06/2018 05:24

Felix Albert. Lovely name. Felix is my fave boy name but couldn't use it due to surname.

I know a Chester but can't help but think Chester draws or Chester Copperpot when I hear his name.
