[Opinions] Re: Felix
in reply to a message by HaySkyNat
I used to really dislike it.
It's the name of a really popular brand of cat food in the UK and my best friend had a cat called Felix when we were growing up so for a long time all I could ever think when I heard the name was a black and white feline!
HOWEVER...
Feline Felix sadly passed away a few years ago and although the cat food advert is still showing quite frequently, I have since met many human Felix bearers that have tuned me into the name for a person.
I don't think it will ever be one of my favourites; though my SO likes it too, but I don't heartily dislike it anymore. I still however, don't like the lack of nickname options.
Recently I met a Florence (6 years old) with an older brother, Felix (approx. 9/10 years old).
