Name Opinions!!!

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
So, I have lots of ideas for little girl names, but I'm becoming more and more convinced that there's a little boy in there, so I'm trying to get down some boy name options.

My #1 pick for a long time has been Felix - I love it. Then, the other day DH and I were joking about using Danger as a middle name...you know, "Danger? Danger's my middle name." Anyway, the joke very quickly turned into a serious discussion - I know it's sort of ridiculous, but we both love it. It fits our personalities, too, we're really just big kids ourselves.

Anyway, my dilemma now is that I'm not sure I like Felix Danger together. We could use my husband's first name (John) and call him Johnny - Johnny Danger works well, I think, except that someone we both know (and are not huge fans of) likes to call himself that.

I've also loved the name Alvin (it's John's dad's middle name), but is everyone going to be yelling "Aaaaalviiiiin" like in those blasted chipmunks movies? Or will they be old enough by the time he grows up that it won't be an issue?

I tend to like names that aren't unusual or sound made up, but that aren't popular (ie, for girls I like Nell, Pearl, Mabel)

I guess what I'm looking for are good middle names for Felix, good first names for Danger, and whether or not Alvin is a silly name altogether.

Other family names: Thomas, Anderson, Nelson, Quinlan, Allen, Winston, Charles

I don't know about Felix Danger. Sounds...like maybe you might end up getting what you ask for.

I think Felix Allen is nice.

I like the name Felix because it means happy, I figure that's a good omen for life. A feminine of that is Felicity, also nice.

Can't say I'm a fan of Danger as middle name, it reminds me of Austin Powers.

My youngest ds was going to be True Danger until the last minute. He is still True with a different middle name. Dh has been bringing it up to use again this time, but if we had a girl (Charlie Danger), although it probably won't happen.

I love Felix and think it is good with Danger if you love it. I don't think I could get past the chipmunk association of Alvin.

Nelson Danger sounds good to me. You avoid the show references.


I love Felix... but not with Danger.

Felix is one of the names we have shortlisted, only we prefer the Russian spelling of Feliks

Feliks (or Felix) Danger to me sounds like an awesome name! That kid is going to be a rock star when he grows up.

I also love Alvin Danger but its true, people would constantly holler "AAAaalvin!" and wait for you to think it is the funniest thing you've ever heard...
