What are your feelings towards the name Felix?


As a name, not with any associations. Try to comment without any biases.

I can't decide what my feelings are. In theory, I like it and the sound of it, but then something about it seems weird.

It's in my top five. I would seriously consider using it. I think it's spunky and different and would be super sexy on a grown man. And the cat association is nothing but positive to me.

I really really want to like it on someone else's kid (I'd never use it on mine) because I love the meaning, but I just can't stop thinking of that cat!

I prefer Fritz, and as a nickname. Felix just doesn't work as anything but a cat, unfortunately.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I meant to say for me not just it doesn't work. I can see it working, but cat would be what I thought of.

Lol, you just reminded me of Fritz the Cat-- definitely worth a watch. It's Felix the Cat on sex, drugs, and booze.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

Unless that's what you meant by preferring Fritz. :/

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Oh god, haha. That's too funny =]

Re: Fritz - I always thought that was a nn for Friedrich/Frederick, like Jo's hubby in Little Women?

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's true =]

unfortunately it is hard to think of just the name without the associations. no matter how much i would like a name if i knew someone with that name that was horrid i could never get over that and give the name to my child.

i dont care much for the name Felix to be honest

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I like it. I like the cat, too.

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

i luckily dont know about the whole cat thing-- so for me it's amazing

How can you comment without any biases? How can you explore your feelings while ignoring associations? One can try and be objective, but a little hard when you're asking for their opinion.

So my opinion--one word:
Meow!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Well, the connotations/associations with this name are quite strong...but without those, it's a fine name.

But then again, I usually like a name because of the associations (and the sound), and dislike a name for the same reasons...so yeah.

I know a fairly cute guy with the name Felix, so I quite like it!

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

It was my top F name for a male for years, but something about it sounds kind of snobby to me, and it has since dropped out of my favorites.

[adamant-turtle.livejournal.com]

I'm not really wild about it, sorry...

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

I love the name Felix! It's my top F name.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

LOVE it. It means happy! How can you not like it?
