How popular is Felix?

[feeb]

I have known a few.

Last year was a Felix in DS1 swimming class.

Personally I see it as a cats name sorry

I hear that a lot so I'm hoping that keeps it's popularity at bay

I liked Felix the Cat and I don't mind the association at all.

Any ideas?

OCBA - Top Twenty Names of 2009 gives you the top names for SA by year, there's probably one for each state. There's quite a few sites that rank by popularity.

I'm the same as you - trying to avoid popular names or ones that might get popular soon. Nothing worse than being one of 5 kids in a class with the same name.

I have to agree with Feb... cats name.. and its common in kinder 3 in my DS class

I LURRRRVE FELIX!!!
I think its a strong and funky name. I would love to call DS2 Felix but i already have a Oscar people assosiate it with Oscar the Grouch.\
and if i have a Felix i can just imagine Felix the Cat! To much of a 'theme' i think.
Good luck xx

.... well i'm a tad bias as my handsome 15year old nephew is a Felix

i have to say when he was born he did get a few books with Felix the Cat !!

i've only known one other Felix & he is 4years old.

if you feel you really love Felix & you yourself haven't come across many even now i would name your bub Felix
(just a thought maybe check the birth column in your local paper every week to get a little of an idea if the name is becoming popular where you live).
