One of the names I'm considering for our son is Felix. DH is worried it's not common enough, or people still associate it with a cat. I like more unusual names, and I think it sounds great with our last name. What do you think?

I love, love Felix! I've been thinking about it as a possible future boy name. I think it's unique but not totally out there

I think it is okay, but not my fave. I think of Oscar and Felix from that weird show - The Odd Couple (watched Nick at Nite as a kid).

I like it and think it is making just enough of a comeback that people won't find it too out of the ordinary but still not common.

I think it's adorable and would have considered it if DH hadn't vetoed it. It was one of the names his mother wanted to name him that his dad vetoed lol

That was one I would have seriously considered! If my so hadn't immediately vetoed it. I love it!!

I like it! My primary association is The Odd Couple, but that's not a bad thing, and it's not so strong that it would overshadow the super cute name.

I don't love it for us, but it could be super cute! I've never met a Felix, so it's got the unique but not bizarre factor.

It's my sons middle name and I wish I had made it his first. But he likes his middle name right now so I hear it a lot.

We considered it, but a friend had just named their baby that.
Love the meaning.

@aprild: My feelings are more 'meh'. I don't love the name, but I don't hate it either. I agree it's not too common, if you love it. Go for it!
