Grin If it is a girl, she'll have 2 older brothers. So could well be Felix if she's a tomboy!

Fifi's sweet. My 2 sons have nn that have nothing to do with their real names, so I expect this baby will be the same.

Felicity is nice, but I dislike Flick and Fliss. Fi is OK as nickname.

Oh and Fizz!

Effie

For some reason I think Lettie is passable (I could be barking)

Well on Coronation Street its Fizz enough to put you off and just stick to Felicity?

We have a Felicity Faith and call her Flissy Miss, Flissy, FeFe.I absolutely detest Flic and my Dad calls her Filly,which I think is the nickname one of the American presidents gave to his daughter.

I really like Flick as a nn. Not drippy or cutesy-wutesy but funky.

I know a lovely Flick and she is v glam, ballet dancing barrister (Which may have influenced my view).

I think Lissie is cute and really like Fizz! :)

Flick puts me off only because of, erm, the phrase "flicking the bean." Blush

Felicity is a family name on DH's side. His aunt Felicity is nicknamed Lucy, his niece is Diddy, and his sister's Blue. None of which really have anything much to do with Felicity, but sounds like you don't mind that sort of approach.

I have known three Felicitys - they were known as Fliss, Flick and Fluff.
