Middle name dilemma

Hi everyone! DD1 is due very soon. We think we've finally settled on Florence as her first name. However for personal reasons I've always wanted my DD to have Felicity as her middle name. I worry it's too much of a mouthful....do others agree?

It depends on the surname, but as an aficionado of alliteration, I think they go very well.

Hmm, I'd say too similar.

Yup on the alliteration front. But it is long, so how about Florence Fliss or Floss Fliss for short.

I think Florence Felicity goes beautifully! I'm also a big fan of alliteration in the right combo and I definitely think it works here. Just as long as the surname isn't another F...

Lovely. As long as your surname isn't another 'F', that would be a bit too much!

For me a bit too much of a mouthful but love the name Felicity!

I think it's a bit too much, Felicity Florence, sounds a bit better.
