.. what would be his name?

Not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet.. but I think we got the girls name covered. (Evelyn, Elvida or Marielle).

But boys names are so hard.

I'm from Norway, but I would like the name to work in English as well, since we're planning on moving across the pond in a couple of years :)

I'm looking for suggestions that work with Felix, not to normal, but not to weird either Wink


Names that are on our list at the moment are:

Emrik
Levi
Nathaniel
Rafael
Silas
Mikias
Tarius

Of your list, I'd go for Raphael or Nathaniel.

And I'd suggest Oskar/Oscar, Darius, Joshua?

I immediately thought Axel. Are you worked about names sounding the same when Said by Norwegians and Brits? We moved to Sweden from England and DS had a while where everyone Said his name "wrong". It doesn't sorry him anymore, and DD uses different pronunciation of her own name depending on the language she is using.

The name that sprang to mind when I read 'Felix' was Milo.

But from your short list is definitely go for Silas.

I want the name to sound somewhat the same, but if I love the name - it doesn't matter all that much.

Axel is lovely, but we have a close friend of ours thats called Axel.

I like Emmeth and Micah. :)

I love the name Milo in english, but it sound dull in norwegian. Also it's the name of a detergent here. =P

Dexter is really cool and I love it, and also it sound almost the same in english and norwegian, but people in Norway seem to only connect the name the TV-series and say that it would be cruel to name a son that. I'm not sure I agree... (?)

I like most of your suggestions.
Keep'em coming Grin

In 20 years time when your son is a grown man, will anyone remember that there was tv series of the same name around at the time he was born?

I think it goes well with Felix.
