How do you pronounce Felix?

[~Serenity~]

Like Siobhan is shi-vawn and I used to say see-o-barn

I always say Shi-born. Clearly I butcher names all the time

Thanks everyone for your help... I've been fixated on Felix as a name but something has never felt quite 'right' about it. And now I know everyone will pronounce it differently to me I thinkit's out. BUT I really wanted a middle name that means happy and just found out that is the meaning of Felix!! So I think it must be destined to be our son's middle name

Now to find a first name...

My 14yo nephew is Felix and everyone prounouces his name the same " Fee - lix (mostly this one) ... or Feel -ix "

(both his parents are secondary school teachers if that helps and most of their friends are too including an English teacher from the UK)

I am laughing so hard reading this thread! It sounds exactly like all of the discussions DH and I have! Especially on the Sio-barn name! Yep, Fee-lix here too.

I always say "sy-ob-han" so I spell it right XD

I say the Fe part like Fi in Fiona.

So Fi-Licks.
