Felix, Farley, Finley
Which one, and why? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Felix, because it's the only one I like and the only one that sounds fine in Swedish. Farley is a surname to me, and Finley is fine but not for me.

Finley, because Felix is wussy and a cat's name, and Farley makes me think of Chris Farley, and Finley can be shortened to Fin.

Felix. Adore this name, it's so handsome.

Felix. I love the meaning and sound, and it's one of my favourite names. Farley sounds too much like a surname and Finley is childish.

Felix, because Farley sounds made-up and Finley is boring to my ears. Felix...actually, come to think about it, none of them. I just can't picture anyone besides a cat named Felix (apologies to all you Felixes out there). *sigh* I pick Felix.

Felix mostly because I can’t stand the other two.

Felix is a cat. Also, Felix Unger.Farley is a dog.I love cats and dogs but don't recommend using their names on humans. Finley is OK, but for a boy only, with my preferred spelling "Findlay". As a girl's name, I find Finley insubstantial. I suspect that in the future, it will be seen as dated, in the same way as names like Linda and Debbie are linked to the 1950s.

Felix hands down. I love the meaning, and it's the name of my favourite hockey player. Finley is ok, but too much of a last name for me. Farley is ok too, but reminds me a little too much of Farley Mowat.

If I must, then Felix. Farley is a dog, and I know two young girls named Finley.

Umm... I guess Felix? I have kind of a negative/weird association with it but it's okay otherwise, and it has a good meaning.Farley is just... very unattractive. Finley is okay but it seems really feminine to me because I have a little female cousin with this name. I prefer Finn, Finnian, or basically any other Fin- name.

Felix, definitely. It's cute on a baby, fits well on a child, and manly on an adult.
Farley sounds like an adjective or adverb a non-native English speaker would say. "He walked fastly and farly."
Finley is a weird spelling of Findlay, which is firmly in surname territory.

Finley. I love it, and the nickname Finn.Felix comes in second though, as I have definitely come around to really liking it.Farley just remind me of A, fart, and B, barley. Weird.

Felix. Seems quirky. I'm not big on names that send in -ee sounds and Farley just makes me think of Chris Farley going red in the face.

Finley. I actually used to like Finley a lot but that has waned over the years. Felix is okay but I just can't quite get behind it. I've never heard of Farley.

Don't like any of them at all, but if a loaded gun is involved I guess I'd pick Finley. At least you can't get fart jokes out of it and it's not quite as wimpy as Felix.

Finley - It isn't my style, but I like it most out of the three.Felix - cat or stuffy kid.Farley - Surnamey and awkward

Finley. It's the least worst. I don't care for it but it's not as bad as the other two and it at least has "Finn" to fall back on.Felix: too stuffy and more of a cat's name.
Farley: Don't like the sound of it at all. Just too awkward. Best left as a surname.

Finley :)Felix sounds like a cat name. Farley sounds like barely? Or like a town? Finley I like—it’s similar to other names I like eg Finn, Fionn, Fiona
