[name]Hi[/name]! I am due in [name]March[/name] with our second child, we aren’t finding out the sex. We have a son ([name]Felix[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Edmund[/name]) that we were told was going to be a girl. When he was born we were going to name him the boys name we had chosen, but as soon as we really looked at him he was just a ‘[name]Felix[/name]’ which is odd, because [name]Felix[/name] wasn’t on our name list at all.
We are having a hard time finding names we both like that sound well with [name]Felix[/name]. I am having a hard time classifying what type of name [name]Felix[/name] is which is making it hard to find out what types of names we should look at for our second.
The names I like are:
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Susan[/name]
[name]Lettice[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name]
[name]Jessamine[/name]
My dh doesn’t seem to be able to come up with names that he loves, he just knows what he doesn’t like. Which ones seem to fit well with [name]Felix[/name]? [name]Do[/name] you have any to recommend?
Of your choices I like [name]Imogen[/name] or [name]Philippa[/name]. [name]Percy[/name] or [name]Tobias[/name]. [name]Felix[/name] feels very Victorian to me, so maybe you’ll find some names from that era that you would like?
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Imogen[/name] / [name]Felix[/name] & Jessaine / [name]Felix[/name] & [name]Tobias[/name] are all perfect and definitely my favourites. They seem to fit with the fun and quirky style of [name]Felix[/name]. Whereas, [name]Susan[/name] seems too normal and [name]Phillipa[/name] a little too old fashioned, the same for [name]Percy[/name] too. [name]Lazarus[/name] and [name]Lettice[/name] seem too over the top!
Off your list, I find [name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Percy[/name] to be best with [name]Felix[/name], but I’m less sure on the boy name. [name]Jessamine[/name] has potential, as does cousin [name]Jessamy[/name]. Hm…
I know a sibling set of [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Felix[/name], and [name]Ada[/name] (F and A are twins), and I think those are stellar. So, for you, I’d suggest names like [name]Amabel[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Delilah[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Hattie[/name], [name]Ingrid[/name], [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name], [name]Mathilda[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Ramona[/name], [name]Rosanna[/name], [name]Violet[/name], and [name]Willa[/name] for girls, or [name]Alistair[/name], [name]Archer[/name], [name]Bertram[/name], [name]Benedict[/name], [name]Christoph/name, [name]Everett[/name], [name]Graeme[/name], [name]Julian[/name], [name]Leon[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Quentin[/name], [name]Russell[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], and [name]Xavier[/name] for boys.

Other ideas…
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Jasper[/name] - I love [name]Jasper[/name]!
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Caspar[/name] - Ooh, I like that!
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Edmund[/name] - I love this name so much, but I used it for a second middle for [name]Felix[/name] (Kind of wish I hadn’t!)
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Miles[/name] - I like this name, but I know three of them born in the last 2 years.
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Sebastian[/name] - Same as [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Maxwell[/name] - I like [name]Max[/name] a lot, but I think that using two ‘x’ may force us into a theme.
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Julian[/name] - I love [name]Julian[/name], but my neice is [name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] & [name]Lydia[/name] - I have always like [name]Lydia[/name]!
I like [name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Jessamine[/name] along with [name]Percy[/name] and [name]Tobias[/name] best with [name]Felix[/name] too. [name]Susan[/name] seems a little too plain (not spunky like [name]Felix[/name]) and I wouldn’t do [name]Philippa[/name] because it starts with the same F sound (I like both names though). Instead of [name]Susan[/name]-- what about [name]Susannah[/name]? Instead of [name]Lazarus[/name], what about [name]Lazlo[/name]? It seems a little lighter and more similar to the “feel” of [name]Felix[/name].
I used to love [name]Susannah[/name], but for some reason the paired down [name]Susan[/name] has been catching my eye lately. I know many people see it as old fashioned or dusty, but it just looks so sweet! lol
I agree with the [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Philippa[/name] double ‘f’ sound, thanks for pointing it out.
Like [name]Susan[/name], [name]Lazarus[/name] just seems to be catching my eye. I can see where [name]Lazlo[/name] sounds spunky like [name]Felix[/name], but I don’t love it like [name]Felix[/name].
I think I am having a hard time because [name]Felix[/name] wasn’t on my list at all so I had never thought about it as being part of a sibset!
From your list, I really like [name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Jessamine[/name] for girls and [name]Percy[/name] and [name]Tobias[/name] for a boy. Other suggestions:
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Perry[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Everett[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Edward[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Charles[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Mae[/name]
