Thoughts on our final 3

Just wondering what people's choices would be between these three for our ds due soon

Aaron Matthew
Felix Joseph
Leo Thomas

Don't have any concerns with Aaron but Leo seems very popular at the moment, not that that would totally put us off. When we have mentioned Felix to a few friends and family a few have said it's just a cat name. Most of the others like it and we like it a lot.

Felix Joseph would be my choice.

I also like Matthew, would you consider Matthew Aaron?

flatrabbit · 25/08/2018 09:48

Leo Thomas is lovely

Ava1988 · 25/08/2018 09:59

I like all of them :) good choices! Don't worry too much about popularity or which is more common. I know someone who named their DD Elsa waaay before Frozen as it was quite uncommon and then that happened bless her.

Not Felix Joseph. There are probably more cats in the world called Felix than boys

I think Aaron Matthew flows better but I love the name Theo, so Theo Thomas would get my vote

Felix - sounds like a cat
Leo - sounds like a lion

I'd second the suggestion of Matthew Aaron. Matthew is my favourite out of the six and still sounds nice if shortened to Matt when he's older.

I love Aaron- but I would worry that people would say Arran. So I would probably, with a bit of regret, go for one of the other two.

Icklepup · 25/08/2018 10:09

Felix Joseph

bridgetreilly · 25/08/2018 10:11

I love Felix Joseph. Such a lovely happy name.

My second choice from your list would be Leo Thomas. I'm not a big fan of Aaron, especially when people pronounce it Arran.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 25/08/2018 10:14

Felix or Leo. Both nice.

userabcname · 25/08/2018 10:15

Felix or Leo. Both lovely.

Flamingosnbears · 25/08/2018 10:15

Felix Joseph

MikeUniformMike · 25/08/2018 10:16

Not keen on Aaron. Too much like Darren, Sharon and Karen in sound.

Slartybartfast · 25/08/2018 10:17

another who prefers Felix and Leo

MikeUniformMike · 25/08/2018 10:17

I actually like Darren, Karen and Sharon.

Slartybartfast · 25/08/2018 10:17

although they could both be names for cats Grin

AtticaRose · 25/08/2018 10:18

Felix or Leo for me.

Slartybartfast · 25/08/2018 10:18

do you like Leon?

Peachbubble · 25/08/2018 10:22

Felix or Leo, probably Leo

Sophronia · 25/08/2018 10:28

I like Aaron Matthew best.

BertrandRussell · 25/08/2018 10:29

"Not keen on Aaron. Too much like Darren, Sharon and Karen in sound."

I rest my case about pronounciation.

MrsMolehillMountain · 25/08/2018 10:51

Aaron Matthew

Or even better, Matthew Aaron

ReginaPhalange89 · 25/08/2018 11:17

I actually like them all.

If you really like Felix I'd go with it. Yes it's associated with cats, but if you name him that then eventually people will forget about the Cat thing, and won't be able to see him as anything other than Felix. I think it's cute, personally !

Some of my in-laws didn't like our girls name but we still went ahead with it and she completely suits it, I'm so glad I didn't change my mind .

MikeUniformMike · 25/08/2018 11:58

I know 3 Aarons, all of then say it as Arrun

Dani18 · 25/08/2018 12:13

I like Felix Joseph best. Felix is a cat food brand but that wouldn't be my first thought x

Loopytiles · 25/08/2018 12:15

Matthew is best name of those!

Felix = cats
Leo = Tony Blair
Aaron too American.
