Help[Opinions] Re: Felix (and Jasper)
in reply to a message by Elemmennope
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

I love Felix and Leo. Additionally I love Tabitha and Elsa. Feline references galore in my favorite names. Not that I have any intention of having 4 kids, much less using those 4 names as a set.
I don't know the Milo or Jasper references. I haven't seen a Disney/cartoon movie since Little Mermaid, so if it's coming from there it's over my head. I think I just associate Jasper and Felix together because I started liking them around the same time and they have a similar quirky nerdy feel in my mind.

I don't think it's that bad...
I've never heard of a dog named Jasper, and I've heard of Milo and Otis but I associate Milo with the boy from The Phantom Tollbooth, so I don't immediately think of animals. I can see where someone would make that connection, but I don't see any reason to believe that she's not serious.

Agreed. Milo, Felix and Jasper would make an awesome sibset!
