This has been quite an ordeal for us, but we have it down to 2...

Felix or Hector

Which would you pick and why?

Thanks!

Felix

Hector. It's a great name. Felix will always be cat food to me.

Felix

Hector is an old word for bully.

Hector

miltonj · 23/10/2021 06:21

Felix. Just don't like hector. Felix is lovely though. Congrats!

Dozer · 23/10/2021 06:22

Hector. Felix is the cat

Chunkymenrock · 23/10/2021 06:30

Felix, definitely.

garlictwist · 23/10/2021 06:32

Neither are to my taste but I'd probably go hector at a push

TidyDancer · 23/10/2021 06:36

Felix, definitely. Hector isn't great imo.

Pinkychilla · 23/10/2021 06:46

Love Hector!

Peachbubble · 23/10/2021 07:04

Hector, but Felix a very close second.

LynetteScavo · 23/10/2021 07:04

I don't like the meaning of the name Hector, although I slightly prefer it as a name to Felix.

ParmigianoReggiano · 23/10/2021 07:06

Felix

BugsyDrakeTableScape · 23/10/2021 07:06

Hector. As PPs have said - far too.many animal connections with Felix

EileenGC · 23/10/2021 07:06

Pronounced in English, Felix.

I love Héctor but only with the Spanish pronunciation.

BeKindBeYou · 23/10/2021 07:07

Felix!

20viona · 23/10/2021 07:19

Neither but felix at a push.

pompomsgalore · 23/10/2021 07:30

Hector was a fab character in Breaking Bad

toadstool32 · 23/10/2021 07:32

Felix will always be cat.
Hector is really not my taste but I'd have to go with that one.

Wildcard combo : Fletcher

Dollywilde · 23/10/2021 07:35

Felix. I actually really like the style of Hector but I can’t get past the idea of it as a verb.

Lightswitch123 · 23/10/2021 07:37

I love both!

Hector wpuld be thr choice of the two though

Awesome name

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 23/10/2021 07:39

Felix.

Hector is nice in theory but not IRL.
For me its the name of a book/film character. It also for some reason makes me think of a south american drug dealers 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
