I love [name_m]Felix[/name_m]! It feels like a classic but playful name to me. Where I live, I’m worried it’s becoming a little too popular. But I think it is still an up and coming name!

I quite like it! I think it’s very cheerful with a bit of classic flair. And since I love talking about the imagery of names, I’ll add that [name_m]Felix[/name_m] makes me think of the summer sun, laughter, evergreen trees, and hibiscus blossoms :hibiscus:

I get serious cat vibes. :smile_cat:

I always worry because it starts with the sound feel I do like it other than that.

It’s my favourite boy’s name of all time, so I was a little bit heartbroken when it started becoming so popular, but I can’t imagine naming my future son anything else.

It’s in my top 3! It’s one of the first names my so and I agreed on, and they’re not a “name enthusiast.”

It feels, friendly, easy-going, and a bit shy :blush:

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! It’s charming, friendly, and bright. I love its international vibe, and sometimes it makes me think about Victorian boys wearing knickerbocker suits. I absolutely adore the nickname [name_u]Fox[/name_u] for a little [name_m]Felix[/name_m]

I know two, one [name_u]Brit[/name_u], one Aussie. It sounds better in [name_u]Brit[/name_u] accent with a quicker first syllable. I like it and it gives me music festival vibes, but am not sure I could ever use it, just feels maybe too cartoony for me.

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] is such a sunny, lovely name! I have it as a guilty pleasure name on my list because of the character in the Bible. That association bothers me simply because I’m around a lot of people that would notice it, but if it doesn’t bother you, that’s awesome. I think it’s a great name with no glaring drawbacks!

the Biblical character

In case you do care, this is what I have written in my notes beside [name_m]Felix[/name_m] in my list:
“Felix’s cruelty, coupled with his accessibility to bribes led to a great increase of crime in Judaea, the period of his rule was marked by internal feuds and disturbances, which he put down with severity (Acts 24:22-27)”
