My great-grandfather was named Felice. He was born in Italy, but when their family moved to Brazil he instantly became Félix. I love his name and he was a very reproductive man, with 16 sons and daughters with two wives. When he arrived in Brazil he was 9 years old, his father died during the voyage to Brazil, so the beginning of his life here was not easy at all. Even so, he could establish himself as a farmer and formed a big family to help him on the farm. My grandfather is the last son of his first wife (then he married again and had more 5 sons). I love this history of his.

I named my daughter Felix June-Olivea. I get complements on how cute her name is everyday. Modern yet old fashioned. It fits her so well. We call her Fí for short. I love her name, best choice I made. My mom hated it, but now she loves telling everyone her granddaughter's name means happy beautiful beginning.
I think this name is great for humans, but it seems to be used primarily for pets, particularly cats. (My grandma had a cat named Felix and my daddy called him "Flea-lix.")
Also Spanish.
Felix is normally used as a man's name, but I discovered that my great-grandmother Maria was known as Felix Maria on her marriage certificate in 1880. Very strange!
This name is extremely popular in Germany.
