My DH loves Felix as it's his Dad's middle name (italian). I like it now through familiarity and association, but my first thought about it was 'cat' and 'cat food'

Love it. Went to school with one, who will be mid 40s by now, and my friend has one who is 5.

Ugly.

SuzieQ10 · 01/08/2019 22:19

Cat food springs to mind. It wouldn't be my choice at all, but I don't dislike it.

BunnyJumps · 01/08/2019 22:23

Love it, Fixy for short

sheshootssheimplores · 01/08/2019 22:29

I’m hearing it a lot at the moment. I’m not keen 😬

Pippilangstrumpfi · 01/08/2019 22:32

In the UK it's the name of a well known brand of cat food.

Janiiiiiiice · 01/08/2019 22:37

I love it!

INeedAFlerken · 01/08/2019 22:37

Cats, cats, cats. And the Odd Couple.

Tillygetsit · 01/08/2019 22:54

I love the meaning. The 19 year old sneery git I know not so much

joystir59 · 01/08/2019 22:56

Nope. Philip is much nicer.

dreichhighlands · 01/08/2019 23:07

I like it and have a good friend called it.

Meow 🐱

It's fine. Reasonably commonplace round here. I know at least four ranging from 5 to 17. How ridiculous to suggest it is "try hard". What does that even mean?

I think of it as a bit upper-class, which is not really my thing, but not as exaggeratedly so as something like Rupert or Tarquin - it's popular enough across the board that people a bit younger than me might not have that association.

BuffaloCauliflower · 02/08/2019 11:17

Love it. And also love cats so don’t mind the association Grin

Frith2013 · 02/08/2019 12:00

It’s ok.

The spy master in James Bond.

dreichhighlands · 02/08/2019 13:44

I think it is the Amercian CIA agent in James Bond.
The person I know is also American although Cuban by heritage.

AfterSchoolWorry · 02/08/2019 13:46

Cat 🐱

Korvalscat · 02/08/2019 14:01

I didn't realise it was such a Marmite name, I'm in the cat/cat food camp.

Zazia · 03/08/2019 14:15

Love it.

CakeRattleandRoll · 03/08/2019 15:05

Really like it. Lovely meaning. Taught one many years ago - he would be mid-30s now.

Minai · 06/08/2019 21:25

Love it. Dh was adamant he wouldn’t consider it though.

Astronica · 07/08/2019 00:55

I love it.
