Felix

[Onlyontuesday]

We really like the name Felix and we're struggling with boys names otherwise. It goes nicely with his sister's name and we really like the happy or lucky meaning.

But does it make you think cat food??

I have a Felix, and DH said no to it for DS1, because of the cat food association. By the time DS2 arrived, he realised that really didn't matter, and we went for it. It is such a lovely, beautiful name. I also literally don't care if it makes people think of cat food, there is nothing offensive or grim about cat food. The only associations I worry about are serial killers or other high profile criminals/unsavoury celebs. Actually the only thing that bothers me about Felix is how popular it's becoming, but I loved it too much to not use it because of that.

I like it!

Doesn’t make me think of cat food:

1. because there are lots of kids called Felix nowadays

2. because adverts are rarely watched anymore so not on the radar

3. I’m not in the market for cat food

Also who cares if it makes people think of cat food? It will just become a persons name after 1 or 2 instances of meeting a Felix.

It makes me think of cat food because:

1. I don't know lots of kids called Felix.
2. I see adverts for Felix cat food when out and about
3. My cat eats Felix.

I think it’s a beautiful name.

I know a lovely Felix in his late 20s. I’m pretty sure it’s on the rise. I love it. Definitely nothing to worry about.
It used to be quite a posh boy name.

Felix means happy and Felis is the Latin for cat, which is probably why the manufacturers used it. We have two in our family - excellent name.

Felix is 100% Cat to me.

There’s a well known brand of cat food called Felix in the UK., and a cartoon character called Felix the Cat!

And in Latin Felis means cat.

My work colleagues son is Felix , and I immediately think of the cat every time she says it , I also think Max despite being popular is a dogs name

It’s a nice name!

Cat food.

I absolutely love it. And the cat connotation! I had a friend called that as a kid and always loved the name.

It's a good name. Means happiness.

I know a teen Felix and I've never thought of cat food. Is there still a cat food called Felix?

I would have named my DD Felix if she had been a boy. Named her Felicity instead

Lovely name.

Nope only think of cats
