Henry of Felix?

[cheeseisnice]

Which do you prefer?

I just can not hear felix without thinking CAT

Henry is lovely, big fan!

Henry.
Felix is posher, but also makes me think of the cat (and the cat food).
Also don’t like the “licks” sound in Felix.

The Henrys I know aren’t naughty.

I like both, but I've met so many babies and toddlers called Henry that Felix edges it for me. Lovely meaning too

My DS2 is Henry. His older brother is 'pet' sort of name like Felix. He is called Oscar and I got so much of 'ooh my cat/dog is called Oscar!" But none of that with Henry. I've had more compliments on Henry's name than Oscar.

In hindsight though, I maybe would have chosen Harrison instead of Henry if I wanted a more unique name.

I like both. I think Henry has more posh connotations than Felix.

Felix - too many Henrys around!! Also love the meaning

Love both but I know less baby Felix’s so I would go with that one!

Henry of Felix all the way

I think it depends on what kind of name you want. Henry is very classic. While not as timeless as something like Edward or William which haven't dropped out of the top 100 since 1904, I know several Henries my age, older than me and younger than me. Some people might find a name like Henry dull, but it's solid, classless and is unlikely to drop hugely out of favour.

Felix is trendier. It has the 'x' which is a letter of the moment in naming at the moment. It's shaken the cat association and is growing steadily from outside the top 200 to into the top 100 and still rising. I would predict it following Hugo into the top 50, and maybe further into the top 25. I think Felix will date more than Henry, but it's a more interesting name. I also love the meaning of Felix if that's important to you.
