Another day, another celebrity has a baby and gives it a weird celebrity baby name.
Just in time for Halloween, today’s awful baby name comes from X-Files actress Gillian “Agent Scully” Anderson. Gillian Anderson’s baby name? Felix.
It seems ok, until you realized that “Felix” is an anagram for “X File.” Clearly, this was no accident.
This is pretty dorky, but it’s almost so dorky that it’s cool. We can’t decide. It’s sort of like having Leonard Nimoy name his son Spock or having George Lucas name his kids after Star Wars characters.
At any rate, it sure beats Gwen Stefani’s new baby’s name, Zuma Nesta Rock. Ugh.
If the recent X-Files movie had been better, maybe this would’ve been a cool name…Too bad Anderson’s cute new kid won’t make as many headlines as ex-X-Files co-star David Duchovny’s sex addiction/failed marriage/affair with a tennis player. Better luck next time, Scully.
People magazine reports Felix is Anderson’s second child with boyfriend Mark Griffiths. The couple has a 1-year-old son, Oscar. From a previous marriage, Anderson also has a 13-year-old daughter, Piper.
Tell us what you think:
Is Felix a good baby name?

I highly doubt that Ms. Anderson even considered that. Not her style from what I can tell.

We are pregnant with a baby boy and have decided on the name Felix. We just love the name!
