our potential dd will be felicity and would like to use cecily as a mn in honour of dp's grandmother but felicity cecily is a definite no imo although dp thinks its ok . i would like to add a second mn between the 2 and we have narrowed it down to rosemary or primrose

so
felicity primrose cecily
or
felicity rosemary cecily

Primrose.

With Rosemary all the names have 3 syllables and end in y, which sounds too sing-songy.

(OK so Felicity has 4 syllables, I can count really!)

Primrose because it doesn't have the eee sound at the end so works better.

Generally with 2 mn you should have a short first middle name something like May, Ann, Rose, Grace etc

welove we really liked rose but thought a longer second mn might work better as it creates a greater seperation between the similar sounding felicity and cecily and for that reason we started to consider primrose or rosemary .

does felicity rose cecily sound better or worse than felicity primrose cecily ?

calzone again we felt felicity and cecily side by side sounded to similar hence the idea of seperating them by another mn .
