In the UK it's also a brand of cat food.

Icklepup · 03/06/2019 08:13

I love it

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 03/06/2019 08:13

I like the name but I do think cat

EpicDay · 03/06/2019 08:17

We call our Felix Fe (actually mostly I call him Mr Fidget but that’s another thread entirely 😬). We love the name and the meaning. Only ever one Felix the cat comment and he’s 10 now.

I’ve always loved it but DP vetoed purely because of the cat food.

BlueMerchant · 04/06/2019 15:41

I think it has a European feel.
I however do not like it. Not just the feline association but also the sound.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 04/06/2019 15:44

I'm afraid I also really dislike it and the sound it makes. It's not a name I would choose personally.

Love it and shortlisted it but ultimately the cat (and especially cat food brand) connection put me off.

Love ot

thisisthetime · 04/06/2019 15:51

It even!

I have a Felix.

No one has ever mentioned cat.

Only people on MN are pathetic about it.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 04/06/2019 18:33

Love it!

Astronica · 05/06/2019 06:26

I really like it. I know a little boy called Felix, and find it rather cool.

JonnyPocketRocket · 05/06/2019 06:35

I love it, but DH and my dad both immediately vetoed it the grounds of "like the cat?" 🙄
(My dad doesn't really get a veto; he just likes to think he does!)
The meaning is lovely.

I have a Felix. I still love the name. It means happy.

Hobbesmanc · 05/06/2019 13:51

I think its a great choice - as well as happy its means lucky or fontunate (hence why it was so popular for cats I guess) However I don't like Felicity which is the female equivalent. I love Rex and Max as well. Must be a Latin thing lol

@Hobbesmanc My Felix has cousins called Rex and Max! 😂
