Felix

[Rushesandflushes]

What would you expect a Felix to be like? I know this changes once you know them, but I'm interested in preconceptions just so I, (potentially) enter into this knowingly!

If you have suggestions for other boy names I may like, I'm all ears!

Thanks

As a child, a gentle, slim boy with brown hair and big brown eyes who is well behaved and well spoken and kind. I don't know any children named Felix! So I don't know why this image is so strong in my mind! I can even picture what a Felix would be wearing (a knitted striped jumper and cords - my imaginary Felix's parents dress him in a cute slightly scruffy, slightly posh way)

A cat

A bright, friendly boy with curly brown hair. Very middle class. Into Lego (but the more serious sets such as the architecture series) and history.

Love the name Felix - I knew a felix - sooooo cute but a little bit cheeky (in a good way!)

Blonde and cute and very smiley (I know two and coincidentally it’s true of both). Agree with the v middle class comment above too.

A cat, I’m sorry :( or if it has to be a person than a tall skinny nerd with glasses. But I don’t know any Felix’ maybe if I knew one it would make me feel totally different.

I like the name Felix, but it makes me think of a cat too.

I'd say cute on an impish little lad but I don't think it's great on an older boy or man. I know of 3 and it sounds smart and classical but it doesn't feel solid like, say, Tom, Will etc.

I know two - one is DS, 17, very tall, clever, likes science, films, tennis. Also likes going out with his mates and getting pissed in a field.
The other is primary school age, blond, funny, madcap, friends with loads of girls as well as boys, loves football.

DS likes his name but I should warn you that both have been shortened to Fee at times.

I love the name Felix. A Felix always has dark hair in my mind for some reason. Likes rugby, sports in general, friendly and sociable.

Absolutely love the name Felix. One of my favourite boy names
I'd have no preconceptions

A cat.

A fluffy grey cat 🐈 with brown eyes.

A cat for sure.

It's a nice name. I always think of Felix to be clever, have curly hair, glasses and smile a lot.

I know such a Felix, he's German though. It seems to be very popular name in many parts of Europe.

I have a felix, he's bright, funny, wicked sense of humour, definitely not a cat. Popular, friendly, and yes, middle class, but hey, somebody has to be! I don't know another felix.

Cat

I know a few, I really like it. Pretty middle class or upper middle - all but one are at private schools.

All the children are nice, a bit cheeky but very likeable.

It's also a well known brand of cat food in the UK.!

Felix is a lovely name. I used to care for a lovely one in nursery, years ago.

I know two Felix's who are both like this.

Also both sporty, academically above average. Gregarious. Funny. One very competitive, one a little more highly strung (but those are very much family traits!).

But you wouldn't want to choose a common name..,

I can confirm that people get past the cat food connection very quickly.

I've never met a cat called Felix in real life.

Well my Felix is gentle slim brown hair brown eye - usually well behaved (Although currently a bit bolshy)....but found in shorts and tshirt or football kit. He never wears trousers to school (regular school not a posh private one) - he just wears shorts all year round.

Felix means happy.

I love the name.

This is exactly my image of a Felix too. It’s one of my favourite boys names.
