[Opinions] Calix and Felix
I've noticed lately that a lot more people like the name Felix than I would have thought. Also, I've recently come across the name Calix, which reminds me greatly of the name Felix because of the ending.
So what do you think? Do you like Calix? Felix? Neither? Both?
I think Cal would be a cute nickname for a Calix.

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.

I love the name Felix and have for years. As for Calix, well I'm not so fond of that name tbh.
