Felix

[happylittlesoul]

Hi everyone!

Little boy due in May and wondering how many others have used the name/ met children with the same name.

I know it’s been sneaking up in popularity, it wouldn’t be a deal breaker as DH and I both adore the name - just more out of curiosity :)

We have a Felix in the family. It suits him 😊

There are 7 in my daughter’s nursery and we know another two! It’s the most common boys name that I know, I actually know even more than Noah’s.

Cute name 😊

We have a Felix in the family. He’s a cat.

I love Felix, but am also concerned about popularity. In England and Wales on a large scale level it seems to be stagnating where it is. Local popularity is so localised that unless you know a lot of young children in your area or ask a friend with children already, it’s a stab in the dark. Names can form a random pocket of popularity where there are several in a class (a Mumsnetter poster about four Vincents in her son’s class), but on a national level it’s just not that popular. Personally I don’t know any, but I don’t know many children (other than birth announcements from people on Facebook).

I remember seeing this at the cinema.

Jolly funny it was too.

I don’t know any!

I really like it, my 19yo had one in his class who is the only one I know.

I'm a teacher and have known 2 in the last 15 years or so, I think it's a lovely name!

Oh dear, I apologise, I have misread Felix for Fritz. Anyway a good laugh it was, in those days.

It's probably banned now, so use the nane Felix as you wish. 🐱

My nephew is a three year old Felix and there's another one at my dd's daycare. Amazing name, international but not everywhere like Noah or Theo!

Same here.
The Danish Royal family has a young man called Felix. He doesn't look catish.

I know of six of nursery age and younger. Don’t know any older than that, so I’d also be worried it’s having a bit of a moment!

My grandad was called Felix! He died a couple of years ago, aged 103, so no risk of him bring in your kid's class at school...

I like it

Some very interesting replies! :)

I’m yet to meet a little Felix where we live but our other DC are still small (Yr2 and below) so perhaps we live in an area where it’s not overly popular.

Thank you so much for your responses!

I love it and tried to name both my son's it- but my partner didn't like it enough and associated it with the cat food advert. I did manage to get it to be my youngest son's middle name though!

I know of 2 Felixes at my son’s nursery (NW) and have two work colleagues who live in Herts and south London who have 3 year olds called Felix.

I have a 3 year old Felix. Originally shortlisted it for my 10 year old (was usurped by a family name) and haven't noticed it climbing in popularity in our area in that time.

I have an almost 19 year old Felix & love his name as much now as I did when he was a squishy little newborn
