Felix

I'd say Henry as a favourite, but only by an inch. They are both great names.

LiveSimply · 31/08/2021 16:40

Felix, 100% …. Henry is a lovely name but there are loads of Henry’s!

TheLastCookieInTheJar · 31/08/2021 16:56

I love both but Henry would be my first choice. You can't go wrong either way though.

PlainJane1000 · 31/08/2021 20:55

Love Henry, struggle to get on board with Felix.

The accidental 'of' instead of 'or' made this sound like their name would be 'Sir Henry of Felix' and I thought it was a peak MN version of Balonz 😂

DramaAlpaca · 31/08/2021 21:07

Henry, by a long way.

Same. Arise, Sir Henry of Felix!

Felix is great, btw.

Felix.

Henry - more classic and also has obvious nn options if he happens to want them when older (Hal/Harry). Felix is nice enough but has become more trendy in the last 10/15 years.

AdaColeman · 31/08/2021 21:27

Felix!

IsThePopeCatholic · 31/08/2021 21:34

Felix. Henry is too posh.

LizzieBet14 · 31/08/2021 21:38

I love Henry. Felix reminds me of a cat.....

Twizbe · 31/08/2021 21:45

I like both but I know lots of Henry's and Felixs born recently.

LittleCatDog · 31/08/2021 21:55

Felix!

WhatsTheTimeMrCat · 31/08/2021 21:56

Felix, but Henry is a lovely name.

pilates · 31/08/2021 21:58

Definitely Henry

MrsGilly1 · 31/08/2021 23:36

Henry x
( I see Felix more a name for a pet - sorry!Blush)

Anystarinthesky · 01/09/2021 00:07

Henry

Balonzette · 01/09/2021 04:46

Felix

Felix. Henry is too posh.
Is Henry posh? All of the naughty boys at my school are called Henry, they’re certainly not posh. One of their mums even calls them the horrid Henrys Grin
PurplePizzaCake · 01/09/2021 05:47

Both great, but I prefer Henry

WildCherryBlossom · 01/09/2021 15:47

Felix!!! I love it.

Henry is fine but actually I prefer James, George and William of the classic "King" names. I always think of Henry VIII.

peaceinourtime · 01/09/2021 16:19

I would say Felix as there are lots of Henry's.

Sidneysussex · 01/09/2021 17:48

Henry is a naughty boy name sorry but actually all the Henry's I have ever met have been naughty.
Felix is great a classic with some serious history and lovely meaning.
