Anyone feel like helping me hash out a boys name?

Have you thought about Felix as a first name? I love it! Then Zeke, then Baxter... I don't think the k k thing or the detention centre thing are show stoppers at all. Good luck

I know a boy called Zeppelin too! His name is spelt with one P though. They call him Zepy.

My friend's son has one p... wonder if it's the same boy?

Could you use Zen as a first name? Zen Felix Kelsie....

Nah-then it would rhyme with my name and be too similar.

Have you thought about Felix as a first name? I love it!

I already have two threads on Felix!

I love it but I'm concerned it may be too popular now and doesn't really lend itself to nicknames.

I keep picking one name then changing my mind!

THAT would be funny! I don't think it is though, as you mentioned that it was your friend's *first* son. The Zepy I know has an older brother.

Have you come any closer to a decision?

No!!!!

Sending me mental. I keep deciding 100% on a name for a day then the next day is sounds all wrong. I keep coming back to Felix in my heart but then my brain rationalises it away. Making a short list now and waiting for baby. Once the paperwork is lodged I'll just have to live with it!

Yesterdays pick was Grover. Still like it but really concerned about the strong Sesame Street thing... Oscar doesn't seem to have those issues though

ooh what about Zephyr?

That was on our list for DS2 but we went with something else.

Clay?
Avery?

I love Felx though, its an awesome name.

If your heart says Felix, then maybe that's what it should be? What is your brain saying? I think that our brains aren't always the best judges anyway.

I think you are right about Oscar, it seems to have transcended the Sesame Street connotation. Maybe because it is quite common now? I don't know any Grovers personally, so I immediately think of the Sesame Street Grover (and isn't he cute!). I was thinking about the name Sylvester the other day. I like the nickname Sy. But when I hear Sylvester, I just think of the cat! But I am sure that is because I do not know any 'real life' Sylvesters.

What other names have you been liking this week?

There is SUCH a difference between top 100 and top 10 as far as popularity goes. I know one baby Felix but I don't think he'd end up with lots of other Felix's in his class. Go with you heart I reckon. The name you end up choosing could get popular too!
