How popular is Felix?

[Oscar&Grouch]

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).

Its a common name in Germany...have a few relatives who have used it

Personally...I love it and havent heard of ANY in my neck of the woods

Hmm... this is all helping!! Thank you

I *think* it's one of those names that it's not unusual to hear and sounds familiar but there are not a whole lot of Felix's out there. I've only met one myself, but I do hear of friend's children who know a Felix. It seems like everyone knows one, but not many more.

I LOVE the name Felix - it's my godson's middle name (a family name for them). I don't think it is a name that is likely to become overly common because of the association with Felix the cat, but is one that people are 'comfortable' with because most people have heard it. Great name!

I love the name Felix. Its such an old fashioned name and i love that in boy names.

I honestly dont think i know of anyone called Felix though i have heard it.
