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!

We've really struggled with boy names.. Feel free to say what your top one is/would be (especially if you're saying neither of these is your cup of tea)

Thanks :)

Hector. It is different. There aren't many.

Felixstowe , Felix the cat food. Don't like the sound feel. Sounds like feel it.

I don't know any one called Felix or Hector.
I would go with Hector because I loved Hector's house as a child.

For everyone saying Felix is a cat ... I'm showing my age here but Hector is a dog Smile

However, I love, love, love the name Hector. Chose Hector OP - it's a very cool name.

Felix

I would be going back to the drawing board, sorry. Hector is awful and Felix is an animal's name.

How funny, my 8 year old son is called Hector Felix. Both brilliant names!
He's always Hector to me and everyone else, but his dad sometimes calls him Hecky.

I don't particularly like Felix but it's so much better than Hector. Hector used as a verb is really unpleasant.

Neither.

Felix.

So helpful! OP likes these names and has spent a long time narrowing it down. My son has a friend called Hector and one called Felix. They are not weird names at all, just maybe not to your taste!
