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.
