We are completely torn between these 3 names - please help!

Samuel
Felix
Benjamin

(I tried to be clever in my previous post and create a poll, but I don't think it worked... so here I am again, without failed poll!)

the poll worked - think people mistake it to a an ad

LimeOrangeLemon · 20/11/2023 22:14

Benjamin is my favourite

Fabadazzle · 20/11/2023 22:15

Oh, thank you! Novice here, so thanks for clarifying

Samuel is best

Oldermum84 · 20/11/2023 22:40

Samuel

Mumofgirls2017 · 20/11/2023 22:41

Felix

Samuel or Benjamin. Both can be shortened which I like in a name.

alexdgr8 · 20/11/2023 22:43

samuel is best.
benjamin is ok.
felix sounds a bit frivolous, like a cat.

Cinai · 20/11/2023 22:45

Samuel or Benjamin.

mariamariaaaa · 20/11/2023 22:46

I like Samuel best.

Benjamin is nice, but it will become Ben and I think that's a bit bland

UsingChangeofName · 20/11/2023 22:52

I like both Samuel and Benjamin.
I also like Sam and Ben (which you'd need to if you give either of those names).

Really don't like Felix. Which I both associate with being a cat's name, and don't really like anyway, and no shortening.

DesertSnow · 20/11/2023 22:54

Personally I like Benjamin, nn Benji

Elzibells · 20/11/2023 23:07

Felix - cat!
Benjamin would be my choice.

wizzler · 20/11/2023 23:12

Samuel

Jewelspun · 20/11/2023 23:16

Felix.

RosesAndHellebores · 20/11/2023 23:20

They're all of their time although I like them all. DS had one of each (usually two Sams) in every class he was in. He's nearly 29.

SABM10 · 20/11/2023 23:27

Samuel.

I actually slightly prefer Felix as a whole name but can't think of a good shortening whereas Sam is lovely. Similarly I do like Benjamin but really dislike Ben for some reason (and you would inevitably end up with a Ben!). Benny and Benji are not great either imo.

Both Samuel and Sam are lovely and my friend has a toddler Sammy which is so cute for a little one 😊

Love Benjamin but not Ben, so would choose Samuel

Benjamin 10/10
Felix 9/10
Samuel 8/10

All are handsome.

junbean · 21/11/2023 04:05

I love Felix!

Sarasara1983 · 21/11/2023 04:11

Felix

shoopshoopdedoo · 21/11/2023 04:48

Benjamin is my fave, followed by Samuel

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 21/11/2023 05:57

I know too many cats that are called Felix.

Prefer Benjamin to Samuel but don’t mind it.

makeminealargeoneagain · 21/11/2023 06:59

Samuel then Benjamin. Both have easy nn.
