Baby arrived a few hours ago! Hooray!
And we love the first name Felix but have wobbled on his middle name:
Felix Carter Stevenson?
Or
Felix Luka Stevenson?

Carter. Flows better.

Elisemum · 02/11/2021 05:56

Carter. Felix Carter just sounds better, anyway huge congratulations on your baby boy!!!!

JudgementalCactus · 02/11/2021 05:57

Carter all the way

WeDidntMeanToGoToSea · 02/11/2021 05:59

Congratulations!

Carter works a lot better and actually sounds quite distinguished (and I'm not ordinarily a fan of surnames as first names).

PanicBuyingSprouts · 02/11/2021 06:36

Congratulations! Agree that Felix Carter had a better flow Smile

GoodnightGrandma · 02/11/2021 06:39

I prefer Luka.
Congrats !

Zarene · 02/11/2021 06:43

I prefer Luka too! I assume with that spelling it's a traditional or family name? So much nicer to honour that than generic Carter.

Felix Stevenson can sound like Felik Stevenson as the s rund into each other.

I like Luca Stevenson.

Carter.

Bimblybomeyelash · 04/11/2021 21:11

I’m not a fan of Carter at all.

Felix Luka

Jeschara · 05/11/2021 22:59

Felix Luka. I really do not like Carter.

Volterra · 06/11/2021 20:57

Congratulations! Personally I much prefer Luka

TheRosariojewels · 07/11/2021 09:14

If you’re not sure on either, I would choose something else.

DoodleBelle · 07/11/2021 09:15

Congratulations, I prefer Carter

Just10moreminutesplease · 07/11/2021 09:17

Congratulations! Flowers

I prefer Carter but both are lovely Smile. Enjoy your newborn snuggles and don’t worry too much about his middle name right now.

LadyWithLapdog · 07/11/2021 09:19

Carter in this case but both work. Congratulations!

peppersauce1984 · 07/11/2021 09:22

Prefer Luka and think it's a softer and nicer flow.

Lindy2 · 07/11/2021 09:27

Congratulations. Felix is a cool name.

Din't worry about it too much. No one will be particularly fussed about the middle name. Most people who aren't family won't even know what it is.

Both are nice but I personally prefer Carter.
