Felix

[toastofthetown]

What do you think of the name Felix? Too popular? Will it date? I've always been very resistant to top hundred names, but my husband hates most of my name choices, so Felix is on the table. I know that popular names are much less popular (only 46% of boys had a top hundred name in 2022 vs 73% in 1996), and it's only 733 boys, which across all of England and Wales feels like nothing.

Oh and Milo is a nestle malt drink in Asia and Australasian countries that comes in a lurid green tin.

No but now that’s in my head 🤣

I have a teenage Felix. Still love the name.
He has never had any issues with it

It means happy and lucky which is what we wanted to wish him for his life.
The cat thing has never been mentioned in real life, but honestly doesn't bother me I love cats anyway so wouldn't view as a bad thing if his name reminded people of cats.

It had history , is an established well known name ( multiple popes , well used across Europe), Latin rooted. Easy to spell, nice meaning with fun aspects IE harry potter luck potion.
I didn't know it was now popular though it was just outside the top 100 when we picked it.

I like it.

I like it.

I have an eight year old Felix, still love it. He likes it.

I love it, it has always been one of my favourite names
