Jude or Felix?

I love both of these names, but I can't decide which one I like better. Your opinions?

Well, our boy name is Judah, so I obviously lean towards Jude. :-)

Felix is an awesome name! It does NOT make me think of a cat. Jude is nice too, sounds very biblical to me.

Jude. I just can 't get into Felix as a name (maybe because it ends in "licks")

I like them both, but my vote goes to Jude.  Though I like pp idea of asking your ideas for middle name because that could help you make your decision... you could be choosing the whole name rather than just the first.

It really depends on the name that's chosen. All possible MNs are mostly family names. For Jude my #1 is William, and for Felix my #1 is Daniel.

Both are great, but I definitely lean toward Felix.

ETA: surprised that people still don't like Felix because it reminds them of the cat. It's such a perfect boy's name IMO.

I like both. My nephew's NN is Jude and I've heard it a lot more recently. Felix is a fresh name for me. So I'd say Felix.

Sorry not really a fan of either one, but if I had to choose one it would be Felix even though it makes me think of the cat.

I like both names, but Jude was on a short list for boy names before we knew the sex of this LO. I prefer Jude :)

Felix is on our list, so I say Felix! Jude is ok but it feels unfinished to me. Like Is this Jude a Judah, a Judy, a Judith? I don't hate it, just not my favorite.

I really love both names, so I can't decide.  I think Felix will probably be a little more out there for some.  We considered it for our LO, but I couldn't get over the "feel" and "licks" thing, even though I love the name.  Our dog's name is Jude.
