If DC3 is a girl then we have narrowed down our choices to these three names - which shall we choose? Also, please suggest a middle name to go with your favourite.

Thank you!

I agree Felicity Jane is an excellent combo but DD2 has already used up Jane!

I like Verity and Felicity.

Penelope sounds a bit priggish.

Love them all! If I had to put them in order of preference it would be

How about Felicity Ann or Felicity Grace?

I don't like Penelope ( it's my nieces name though), I just think it's a bit stuffy and I don't like the way it looks written down - it looks like it should rhyme with antelope to me!

Penny is sweet though but I prefer your other choices. Verity is very nice!

They are all lovely, but I think Verity is my favourite.

Verity Marguerite is a pretty combination, and uses a flower name a bit more unusal than Rose.

I think they are all beautiful. Rose or Anne make good middle names after a multi-syllable first name.

My dd is called Felicity Ellen. Penelope and Verity were on my list too, but Felicity just stood out that little bit more for me!

Thanks for all the ideas, I think my current order of preference is
Verity
Felicity
Penelope

I think DH might be reverse order though! Will show him this thread and see if we come to an agreement.

Middle names can be problematic as surname begins with a T so vowels best avoided to prevent unfortunate three letter words! Felicity Ann definitely not a goer for example!

Penelope v v popular at the moment if that's a factor!

I really can't stand Penelope. It sounds prissy and 'ploppy' all at once.

I would go for Verity, followed by Felicity.

I like Felicity most, then Penelope. I'm not so keen on Verity, which feels too much like a pious virtue name to me.

Felicity Clare
Felicity Rachel
Felicity Kathryn
Felicity Rose?
