Please can I have your HONEST opinions on the name....

Felix.

Sorry for another name thread but we're really struggling to find a name we like and this seems to be one of the few names we agree on.

TIA.

i know a lovely one year old felix

Splendid name - I'd use it.

cat name.

also i knew a boy called felix and he was an absolute brat, so the name is tainted for me i'm afraid.

dh and i had to discount a lot of possible baby names on the basis of other people we disliked having the name.

Honestly, not a name I like.

Agree with Tinker about where you live - there are dozens of Felixes around here - and 2nervesleft about schoolyard.

Whilst I think it's an ok for a baby or toddler, it's really uncool for a teenager, may well draw unwanted attention in the playground and not a good 'un for an adult either.

Sorry.

PS Oscar passes playground, teenager and adult test, IMO.

Thanks for all your opinions-much appreciated.

what about Theo or Toby or George? I think they all go with Oscar

I like it, but I also know a lot of Felix's - all 5 and under, so it's quiete popular

sorry no...it's a cat food

Twiglett-FIL is George,but I love Toby and Theo.Dh isn't too keen though.

Honest opinion from me - no. First impression when I read it - yet again another CAT. Sorry!

It's a very popular name in Germany (as is, indeed, Oscar). So I connect it more with 'oh no, too popular' than with cats. It's quite a nice name though. I like the feminine forms more - Felice/Felicia/Felicity.

I like Felix. As a name for either a boy or a cat .

Love it and it is DS1's name.

We initially got a few 'no really...' but got far more 'great name'

No regrets 2 years on.

I think it's lovely

are you still looking for opinions on this or am i late to the party?

I like it!

I really like Felix. One of DS' best friends is a Felix and he's lovely - and v. far from posh. I'd use it.

Felix is a nice name. It's well known in Belgium.

Im sorry but if im honest, like you asked, imo its absolutely disgusting plus the whole cat thing.. oh no! yuck

nope, sorry, I don't like it

My friends husband is called Felix and I've always thought it a lovley name. I really like it. She calls him Fee and I love that too.

I like it - it's a bit poncey and I wouldn't use it myself, but I still like it.

I like it, it's my nephew's name too. I like the name itself and like the fact it means happy.

May be shortened to Fi - which is a bit girly.

Need to think about surnames too - does it go?

These threads are so hard because if you say you don't like there will always be someone who pops on and says it's the name they chose etc....

FWIW I like the name
