Felix?

[MimiSunshine]

Ok so I know there is the cat food but aside from that, if you’re friend announced they’d had a baby boy - Felix, what would be your thoughts?

Also what would you expect siblings to be called? Trying to see if it fits with our DDs name as they don’t need to match but don’t want it to seem like an odd combination

I love it wanted it for DS2 but DH vetoed it

I love it!

My friend has a little Felix. It’s cute and it suits him.

I like it - a lot.

Lots of little Felixs around us. Felix and Bonnie, Felix & Hugo, Felix & finley :)

Sorry. It's a cats name for me.

Cat name for me too, although I'm sure that'd change if I knew of any (people) with the name!

I love it, but might be biased as my youngest is called Felix

We chose it because it means happy/fortunate.

I like it. Siblings would be Finn, Poppy, Imogen, Jude.

Are you having a kitten?

I love it, but partner has vetoed. I might still insist though...

We do have two cats who eat Felix, so I can see it might be odd.

We have one in the family. I don’t think anyone except for the parents particularly likes it but it’s not awful. His sister is Sienna.

My littlest is Felix!
DH suggested it and I fell in love with it.

Our other two are both in the top five popular names, nobody has ever commented on his name.

But even if they did, I don't care because I love it and it suits him!

Seems more liked than not. 👍🏻

I get the cat thing is quite strong but we don’t have a cat so I’d just shrug and think people were unoriginal if it was commented on to our faces.

But then we also like Milo and that gets ‘it’s a dogs name’ all the time too 🤷‍♀️

If I could go back in time I would have Felix and Rupert here. Love Felix!

I love it! I wanted it, but husband said no for cat reasons

I really don’t like it. I think it’s in the same pretentious-sphere as Hugo and I hated the Felix the Cat cartoon as a child.

Cats name. Siblings would be Milo, Jasper, Otis, Tabitha, Jemima, Imogen

I like it, but I am biased by a very sweet 4 year old.

I have a 9 year old Felix so obviously love it! Weirdly come across far more Felix's than theo, which is his brother's name. Only people who go on about it being a cat's name are older folk in my experience. None of his school friends mention cats or cat food. It's a classic Latin name meaning " happy" what's not to like?! He certainly lives up to it (most of the time!).

A colleague has Felix Oscar and Imogen. Felix is about 16. Nice boy.

All I can see is a cat running across a piano 🙈

Thanks all, for those who have a Felix (or know one) does the name ever get shortened?

I’m not really bothered by shortening, our DDs name has obvious nicknames but her full name is only ever used but just wondered if Felix had some obvious or unfortunate ones I was missing.

I have a Felix. We shorten to Fe.
Never had a cat comment.
