DS2 coming soon. Older brother is Sebastian and we’re a bit stuck choosing between these three names.
Thoughts?

Felic

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 23/06/2018 22:56

Felix but I may be biassed 💕

RedDwarves · 23/06/2018 23:05

I like them all, but this is my order of preference:

  1. Jasper
  2. Milo
  3. Felix
Greenyogagirl · 23/06/2018 23:08

That’s crazy, my pets are Sebastian (Bash for short) and Jasper (dogs) felix and milo (cats) Shock

DS’s best friend at nursery is called Jasper.

It always reminds me of Jasper Carrot, I’m afraid Confused

Chelseajunior · 23/06/2018 23:14

Milo or jasper

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 23/06/2018 23:16

I've got a Felix and he is wonderful. And I love his name!

TatianaLarina · 23/06/2018 23:17

Jasper

Itchytights · 23/06/2018 23:18

Felix is cat food or the name of a cat.
Milo is from the Tweenies.
Jasper makes me think of Jasper Carrot 🥕.

Out of all three probably Jasper.

hungryhippie · 23/06/2018 23:22

They all sound like animal names to me Confused

DiabolicalMess · 23/06/2018 23:22

Milo is the best of the three although I'm biased. Ignore the Tweenies and hot chocolate references, neither are relevant at all.

itssquidstella · 23/06/2018 23:46

Jasper, Felix and Milo in order of preference.

MollyHuaCha · 24/06/2018 00:01

Felix

Oopsmeagain · 24/06/2018 00:04

Sorry but another person who just thinks of pets here. I know a dog called Milo and cats sled Jasper and Felix.
I wouldn’t call a baby any of those names.

Oopsmeagain · 24/06/2018 00:04

*called not sled

schooltripwoes · 24/06/2018 00:10

My neighbour's cats have those exact three names. Sorry that's not helpful is it?

WatcherintheRye · 24/06/2018 00:27

I like all the names, but do have friends/neighbours who have them as their pets' names. But then, one of the little boys at the nursery where I work has the same name as my cat! Being a pet name doesn't devalue it. It's not as though you're proposing to name your son Fido, Rover or Tiddles, is it?

Growingboys · 24/06/2018 00:31

Milo is not a name for a grown up

TroubledLichen · 24/06/2018 00:46

I love the name Sebastian. Felix, Milo and Jasper in my opinion aren’t anywhere near as nice and to me scream family pet not new baby (sorry). If I had to pick one it would be Felix but it’s a reluctant pick.

MyKingdomForBrie · 24/06/2018 00:56

Ridiculous the number of threads on names now where everyone barges in with 'oh no that's a pets name.

People have been naming their pets normal human names for bloody years now, just because you know a dog called Jasper doesn't wipe it off the list for humans!! All of those have been human names for much longer than your bloody mother's neighbors cat's name.

Greenyogagirl · 24/06/2018 02:02

@mykingdom I know a few pets with human names (dan, dave, charlotte etc) and people with pet names including the aforementioned felix and a couple of busters.
I think you should name your pets and kids whatever you want, I just thought it was a crazy coincidence that the 4 names mentioned are the names of 4 of my pets Grin

Discotits · 24/06/2018 07:58

I’m not worried about the pet name thing, I knew people would say that. My friend has cats called Lily and Ella and another friend has a dog called Henry, whereas I’ve never met any cats called Felix. And I’m not worried about the cat food either.

All 3 are such lovely names. You can't really go wrong with whatever one you choose.
I'm leaning towards Felix though.

WildCherryBlossom · 24/06/2018 08:10

They are all fantastic names. I would struggle to choose between them too. Perhaps wait to see the baby before you choose?

Susannach · 24/06/2018 10:18

Felix
Jasper
Milo

In that order. All nice, though.
