I voted for [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name] only because I feel that [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are a little hard to say together because of the L in both the names. I prefer the names [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] over [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name] but I think [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name] have the same feel and just go together a lot better.
Like both, but had to vote for [name]Felix[/name]. Wouldn’t mind seeing [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Sam[/name].
[name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name]. I really just dislike the name [name]Felix[/name] but I do like the [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name] together. [name]Love[/name] [name]Leo[/name].
[name]Both[/name] twinsets are wonderful but I have a soft spot for [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name]. They sound so “happy” together.
[name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name] are perfect as brothers.
[name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] got my vote. They are unusual, stand out and would be comment worthy if I met them. However [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name] are very ordinary and dare I say it a little boring!
I voted for [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] because I prefer them as first names and the combinations in general. I find them much more interesting than [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name], which seem overdone.
The only thing putting me off is that [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] both have very strong ‘L’ sounds but I still prefer to [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name].
I had a hard time voting! I adore [name]Samuel[/name] but don’t care for [name]Benjamin[/name]. [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] really pop, they’re striking and current without feeling “trendy.” So I voted for the second set, but would probably prefer [name]Samuel[/name] with either [name]Felix[/name] or [name]Leo[/name].
Thanks for the feeback! [name]Sam[/name] & [name]Ben[/name] are old time favorites of mine, but [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are relatively new loves. I think my husband prefers [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] and I feel that they are perfectly matched. They have the L in common but don’t start with the same letter or rhyme or any other “twin” thing, you know. Also, they are both old Latin names with similar popularity patterns over the last 120 years and they mean “[name]Happy[/name]” and “[name]Lion[/name]” which I think are both great meanings. While there has been a cartoon cat, I don’t think this generation will even be aware of that, and [name]Felix[/name] does not mean cat. [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name] are great classics, but both inside the top 25 in popularity, which does make them seem “common” and a little boring which turns me off a little. Also, they would have sisters [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] which seem a little too spunky and fun for brothers [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name], so overall I’m feeling like [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are the best fits, although I still have a hard time imagining having a boy at all after two girls, but I want to be prepared. We should know the sex of the babies by the end of [name]July[/name].
My vote was for [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name]. It sounds more edgy and unique.
[name]Sam[/name] and [name]Ben[/name] sound perfect as brothers.
I voted for [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] (I actually like that they both have cat associations, and I agree that the cartoon cat is old enough now that their classmates would never make the connection.)
I love [name]Sam[/name] (which I feel goes well with [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name]) but I am not a fan of [name]Ben[/name] at all. I would maybe vote for [name]Sam[/name] if it was paired with a different name.
