The name Felix?

I love the name so much, it’s one of my fave boys names but I’m worried it’s a bit too closely associated with the cat food brand.. really appreciate opinions on this!

As long as you don’t name the kid fancy feast you should be okay 😂 Felix isn’t the most popular cat food brand, so unless they’re cat owners, they probably won’t make the association

My nephew is called felix and when they first said they were using the name I did think that however since he's been here, I totally forget about the cat and just see him as felix. I love the name.

I know a Felix and don't really like him so for me I wouldn't name my son that (same with lots of names get ruined because you know someone with the name) but I've never once thought of the cat food brand when hearing his name 😊

One of my favourite names, I don’t make the cat food link. I feel like that’s an advert I’ve not seen in many years and I don’t have a cat so, I’m not in that aisle either so 🤷‍♀️

Felix is a nice name honestly I don’t really associate it with cat food I see the name Caesar that way

Love the name, it was on my list. I associate it moreso with the old cartoon Felix the Cat more than the food brand but it’s a good name nonetheless.

I know a Felix that I strongly dislike but it’s not a bad name in general

My son is called Felix and I think only one person has ever mentioned the cat food in the 5.5 years of his life so far! Most people say it’s a great name if anything. And it has good meanings - happy or lucky.

I ruled out Felix because I asked various people at work ect... And pretty much everyone said the cat food 😭 it's such a gorgeous name, I loved it. The advert still does play on ITV too

I know 2 Felixs and I instantly do think of cat food, sorry

@Flora awww it’s a super popular cat food here in the uk. The tv ads have been running since the 1990s with the felix cat, gives me nostalgia though.

I think it’s SO cute. I used to think it was a lil ugly but since naming my first son Foxx I think if I ever had another son Foxx and Felix sound so cute together and that’s what sold me lol

I know someone called Felix (he’s Italian). I thought of him first and only when I saw the option for cat food remembered it was also the brand.

@Sanjana Syeda It is in the UK so depends where the poster is

When I hear the name Felix I don't immediately think cat related. If anything I think of the guy named Felix from Stray Kids with the sexy voice. If you like the name just go for it

Most likely we will use Felix also :)

I think I do think of the cat food but not so much that it'd put me off? I think meeting him for the first time I'd think about it but for every time after that it probably wouldn't cross my mind

I used to think of the cat food but the more I hear it and know people with the name the less I associate it with that. I do think it’s a good choice!

it's one name I really like and my husband is okay with it too for a change ... but yes I've got the exact same worry as you - the cat food 😅

I really love Felix!
