[Opinions] Re: Calix and Felix
in reply to a message by writerALD93
I like Calix and Cal as a nn.
Except for the fact that the meaning of Calix suggests a symbolically feminine object (a goblet). That actually puts me off it as a male name. Maybe I'm just weird about that stuff. But same goes for Haven on males. It's just wrong to me. Or Pilar for a woman. I love the sound of the name, but ... not for my daughter!
I don't like the sound of Felix very much. Feel licks. It squicks me out. But it's a fine name, I guess.
