Gillian Anderson.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) and Mark Griffiths just welcomed son, Felix.

Their other children are Oscar and Piper (Gillian's daughter from her first marriage).

My thoughts: I adore Felix and Oscar. Piper is one of the better celebrity baby names, and considering how . . . different Gillian Anderson is, it's quite mainstream.

lol Felix and Oscar. Not bad names though.

I felt like I was the only one old enough to notice/go 0_o the Odd Couple pairing...

[twitchywoman.livejournal.com]

yeah, I didn't really notice the reference until I said them all together.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i was thinking that too ;)

I am pretty sure that when we have kids, my SO and I are going to be using Felix. It's pretty much both of our favorite name. I don't like Oscar, and Piper is okay. Felix is really my favorite there.

I don't love any of these names. And Piper sounds really odd in a sibset with the other two.

[nearlyalegume.livejournal.com]

Well, keep in mind that Piper is a LOT older than the other two - she turned 14 last month, while Oscar is not yet two. I suppose people's name-tastes change with age.

Besides which, we're not giving either father any credit for the names - maybe Piper, Oscar and Felix were named by their fathers? They must have had some input, anyway, which would go a long way to explain why they don't 'go' together. Not that that actually matters.

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Oscar and Felix go reasonably well together, even though I'm not fond of either of them. It's odd to me that Piper is actually older than the others, it feels like a much more current/trendy name, whereas the other two are more old-fashioned.

I don't expect siblings' names to *match* or anything, but you don't usually see tastes changing THAT much (in my experience). Like it would seem really odd to see Gertrude and Destiny as a sibset. (Piper/Oscar/Felix is obviously not nearly as extreme, but you get my point).

i like felix, but i don't think it ages well. i wonder what his middle name is.

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

Oscar the grouch, The Pied Piper, and Felix the cat. *eye roll* of all the SO MUCH BETTER names of the thousands to choose from.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

The Odd Couple + Piper. :(

[jordle.livejournal.com]

Oscar and Felix are two of my least favourite names. Piper is okay.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I really don't like Oscar, and Felix is ok, but it reminds me too much of the cat...

I really like Piper, though. And Gillian! That's a nice name, too.

I really hate Piper, but I think Felix & Oscar make the perfect set.
I know someone who has both (though Oscar is the new baby in this case)- ace names.

Haha, that would be me! :)

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it would!

I meant to ask earlier, what is Oscar's middle name?

[medusa.livejournal.com]

Sebastian. He is Oscar Sebastian and Felix is Felix Gideon. :)

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's my most favourite combination!

[girlsteve.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't use any of those names myself, but I quite like them. They sound quite nice and - on the celebrity scale - not too out there

[medusa.livejournal.com]

I have a Felix and an Oscar. ;)

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

Don't forget that Felix is an anagram for x-file.(And yes, I am an x-files nerd, so you can shut up now...) Go Gilly! Teehee, i happen to love her, despite her odd choices. (Ok, Piper is a guilty pleasure...)

[ringsandcoffee.livejournal.com]

I never would have thought of the anagram! Wow.

Fellow xf nerd here :)

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

Then i just have to be the nerd of the century and tell you that my top names are william and samantha. it really has very little to do with paying homage to the show. i just like those names. :)
