[Opinions] Re: Felix
in reply to a message by Bex
DH and I also absolutely love the name Felix. We were set on using it at one stage with DS2, but had a few options in mind and when DS2 was born, he was absolutely a Jethro! If we were to have a third DS, he will without a doubt be Felix, we still love it soooo much! I keep my eye on the popularity of names too, obviously, and apparently it was 89 last year so it has dropped a few places. It has definitely got more popular over the last few years, but I don't think its popularity will explode. If you both really love it, then use it. It definitely isn't too popular to use. It's not like it's even in the Top 30, so I really wouldn't worry. I think Felix and Rufus would be ADORABLE for brothers!! I would be so excited to meet brothers with these names! I also love the sound of Felix and Daphne. Both Rufus and Daphne are names I would consider using myself, so I may have some bias towards them! I think Felix Stewert is a little lispy, but not enough to worry about.
On a side note, are you guys going to find out the gender before birth or wait? I actually think it's easier knowing, as far as names go, because you know which gender you need to focus on for names and it takes some pressure off.

Yes, we find out on the 22nd of February! I tried to find out the sex at our 12 week scan but we were actually a bit behind so turtle was 11 weeks 2 days instead of 12 weeks 1 day! :(
We are desperate to find out. Husband just wants to know, but I really want to know because I really really want a boy and I think I need a bit of time to adjust if we find out that turtles a girl. (I'm 100% sure turtles a girl, but I am still wanting it to be a boy so much!)
Also, if it's a boy it will literally take us the next 6 months to decide on a name. We really only have 3 girls names, so that's not a problem.

That's so exciting! Besides the initial excitement of finding out you are expecting, finding out the gender at the scan is right up there! It's such a fun moment! You will be right either way. Being a parent is such an amazing journey. Make sure you let us all know, I'm busting to know! :)
I'm sending you BOY VIBES. hehe
