I'd wait until baby was born and see which one he suited. 😁
My ds had a short list, we couldn't agree, then when he was born there was only one name it could be. Now it's totally him.

Jonah Walker

Toddlerteaplease · 25/07/2021 21:03

The first names are fine. But the middle names are awful!

vickysh · 25/07/2021 21:04

I love Jonah Walker too but don’t know if it’s too much like the whiskey - Johnnie Walker

Felix Walker

Benjispruce5 · 25/07/2021 21:05

Not Jonah. Being a Jonah has negative connotations.

RavenclawsRoar · 25/07/2021 21:06

Felix!

Benjispruce5 · 25/07/2021 21:07

Wolf? Why?

vickysh · 25/07/2021 21:11

Not heard the negative about Jonah? What is it?
OH chose Wolf ..

Benjispruce5 · 25/07/2021 21:12

Oh ok. Being a Jonah means being unlucky due to the bible story of Jonah and the whale.

Benjispruce5 · 25/07/2021 21:14

Wolf sounds like a wrestling stage name.

Hyacinth88 · 25/07/2021 21:14

Felix

AlwaysLatte · 25/07/2021 21:15

Felix Wolf

HelenaJustina · 25/07/2021 21:15

Felix all day long

Benjispruce5 · 25/07/2021 21:15

I like Felix but Walker is a surname .

MorriseysGladioli · 25/07/2021 21:16

Yep.
Felix Wolf.

marmaladehound · 25/07/2021 21:16

Jonah wolf! Love the name Jonah abs wolf is different. I knew a guy who called himself wolf, it was his surname, but I liked it.

Monstamio · 25/07/2021 21:17

One of them means lucky, the other means unlucky. Is that just a coincidence?

Felix all the way for me anyway. Really dislike Wolf.

vickysh · 25/07/2021 21:18

Is Felix Wolf too ‘animal’?
With the cat link to Felix and dog link to Wolf?

Benjispruce5 · 25/07/2021 21:19

Felix Wilf?

diddlediddle · 25/07/2021 21:21

Is Walker your maiden name or another family-based surname? Fine if so but otherwise no way.

Wolf is kind of naff but I could tolerate it as a middle name. Definitely not with Felix, too animally. Don't mind Jonah so I guess Jonah Wolf is best. Felix Jonah is more sensible

jackstini · 25/07/2021 21:27

Love Jonah
Felix will always be a cat to me
Prefer Wolfe to Walker

Definite no to Felix Wolf

You don't sound very keen on them yourself... why not keep looking?

daisypond · 25/07/2021 21:29

Felix.
Jonah is awful. It’s a word in the dictionary, meaning a jinx, bringer of bad luck.

NannyR · 25/07/2021 21:29

I really like Jonah. There is more to the book of Jonah in the bible than someone causing a storm on a ship.
