Thoughts on our final 3

[ER1212]

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.

In order:
Felix
Leo
Aaron

Thanks everyone, I think Felix is our favourite, we are cat people and do have a cat but I'm sure everyone would get used to the little one called that, it's not like we'd be naming him Fluffy 😂. We'll keep the three in mind till he's born I think and make sure we're happy when we've seen him.

I like Aaron but would probably go for Aaron Thomas. Felix is fine. Not crazy about Leo

I like them all. Think Leo Thomas just beats Aaron Matthew (and surely everyone knows Aaron is pronounced Air-un (or theirabouts), at least in English?)

Oh FFS! Thereabouts!!!

Felix Joseph. Perfect.

I like Matthew best.
Then Felix.

I love Felix and want it for #3 but my husband says it is a cat name, and that as our daughter is Tabitha, there are too many cat names going on! I tried to point out it is an ancient name (including 4 Popes called Felix I believe i read!!) but to no avail...

I love Felix but DP vetoed due to cat food... it’s definitely my favourite out of the three though.

Felix Joseph is great.

I’d go for Felix. Leo is very popular currently (unfortunately, as it’s on my list for hypothetical DS2) and I don’t like names with varied pronounciation personally.

I couldn't use Aaron if there was even a slight chance someone would call him Air un/in
I've only heard one person call their son Air un.. I think Arran like the Aran Islands sounds much nicer

A pp said Felix is cute
I don't think your adult son will appreciate a cute name
At least give him the option to use a non cute name if you give Felix as a first name

Aarón is a bit plain to me, but I know of a little boy called Aaron. He suits the name and his Mum says she likes it as it can't be shortened, and she gets lots of positivity about the name.

I love Felix. I think people do associate with the cat, but they'd soon loose that association when they got to know him. I know of a little Felix, it's just the loveliest name for a baby. It works well on a teenager too.

I love LOVE Leo and Leonardo is a top contender for my little boy. However the popularity of Leo does put me off it. I just think he'll be one of a few in his class, I don't want my child to be Leo R all the way through school.
