Felix?

[Belgrano]

Thoughts please? DD is Alice so we are desperately searching for a lovely, but slightly unusual name. We love Oliver and Samuel but there are zillions of them. We've lingered a long time on Arthur but I want another option or two. DS due in 2 weeks.

DH won't have anything that's too 'foreign' - has to be English basically!

So - Felix???? Thoughts please.

Thanks

I love love love it!

Felix is a lovely name imo. It's on our shortlist too for ds due in 6 weeks time. We are also a bit concerned about the cat connection but after working our way through every other boys name we can think of it is still dh favourite by far. I think if you go for it you need to just decide to not be offended by "what like the cat food?" comments. Other names on our list (in case our taste is similar) are:

Oscar
Louis (pronounced Loo-ee)
Alex

Good luck.

My DS due in 18 days will be Felix Arthur. .

My friend has and Alice and a Leon so the two go together in my mind! Love Felix as well though.

we have a Felix and rather like the cat connection. it's shortened to Flick. cool choice. go for it.

Can I be very unoriginal and say 'cat food'?

It's a shame: felix would be a lovely name otherwise.

I love the name Felix and its always been on my list for the last 12 years.

DH said no, no, no. Too many feline connections.

I also loved Hugo.

Do like Felix, but also think Max and William might fit your bill and both go well with Alice.

Thanks so much everyone, lovely responses. I have showed them to DH to try and tip the balance (he was still slightly reluctanct). I also think the cat connection aint too bad - compared to say someone famous who is awful I mean....

Oh BTW - Max is already used a zillion times over in my family and William is DH's name! Thanks for the suggestion, but sadly neither of those is allowed in.

Bugger to the cat connection - Felix is a fab name - I'm sure your Felix will make it his own.

Let us know what you decide Belgrano. Would love to know what you go for!
