I adore Felix - but. yes, it's a bit...odd
Yes, too much.
Probably a bit too similar.
Yes, I think it is.
I also love Felix; we had shortlisted the name for DS, but had a few comments about Felix the cat.

yes
I knew they were but was just hoping.... 34 weeks and no name
Yes, too much.
If I ever have another boy it'll be Felix..love it! But maybe the x's are a bit much...
I think you could have Alexander and Felix but not just Alex and Felix.
Yeah, the second child might feel like a 'variation on a theme' rather than an individual.
yep - too much
Yep too much.
I's do it but if DD had been a boy we were seriously considering Felix, which would have given us Alex, Max and Felix 
after being a mum of more then one and having to yell out names and tripping up on ones not similar I would say that yelling this out woudl trip me up a million times, which is a shame cause they are lovely names.
Far too similar.
Nope! I like it!
Then again, we have an Alex and a Phoenix (admittedly it's Alexandria, but we rarely use her full name, it's nearly always Alex)

I think they are too similar. Sorry!
I'll go against the grain and say i like them and don't think they are that similar
