Felix is similar to the popular
Alex,
Max, and
Leo, imo, which may be why it's gaining some popularity. I don't see it as being a trendy hit terribly soon, though. Just a hip, retro, cool name on the backburner working it's way up slowly. :b
I think in the future
Felix won't be so heavily connected to
Felix the Cat so it's not a big worry. I don't automatically think "cat" but even if I did, I think I'd still like the name. :) And actually, I like
Jasper even more. And I think
Jasper and
Felix would work wonderfully as brothers. Throw in
Milo (if you can get past another cat reference) and you have a fab sibset, imo. :b
