How do you think sound together? Like both equally so also Felicity Constance?

I was about to write that you can't really have two virtue names, but someone above beat me to it. I would choose one of these and a different middle name.

SorenaJ · 16/11/2016 12:07

Fizzy is another nn for Felicity

NickyEds · 16/11/2016 09:40

I think they're a bit much together tbh- I like Connie though.

TeshiB · 16/11/2016 09:37

I like Felicity Constance Smile

SaltyBitch · 15/11/2016 22:09

I've never had a problem! Feh-liss-ee-tee. Fliss. [smiles]

It has sibilants, plosives and lots of syllables, so for me it isn't a name which flows easily.

SaltyBitch · 15/11/2016 20:11

Is it hard to say?

blinkineckmum · 15/11/2016 20:03

I've never liked the name Felicity as it's hard to say. So to me Constance Felicity sounds like Constantly Flickering.

heron98 · 15/11/2016 14:07

It's quite a "horsey" name, if that makes sense.

Nongoddess · 15/11/2016 13:54

Ooh lovely! I'm a Felicity so I'm biased but I have always loved my name. Lots of positive comments too. Felicity Constance is beautiful I think...

littlepinkmouseofsugar · 15/11/2016 13:52

Felicity is lovely. I'd have that as a first name - lots of fun with nicknames, whereas Constance is Connie or Con which are not so nice imo.

groovygreenwichgirl · 15/11/2016 11:27

I also think most people won't think of the virtues and if they do they are positive anyway.

groovygreenwichgirl · 15/11/2016 11:25

Really lovely. Prefer Felicity as a name and Felicity Constance seems to sound slightly better.

Thanks for your comments, I have to confess I didn't realise Felicity is a virtue name, just always liked it.

Felicity is just so positive! Love it!

BadToTheBone · 14/11/2016 21:13

Love them both.

OlennasWimple · 14/11/2016 21:12

I like them both, but agree with pp that one would be better than both together

Thatwaslulu · 14/11/2016 21:10

I'd never heard Fliss (my friend is a Flick) but it's really pretty!

GeorgeTheThird · 14/11/2016 21:08

If you like virtue names do you want to use two on one DD? What if you have another one, should you use one virtue and one non-virtue this time?

Felicity is lovely, I would use as a first name.
Love the shortened/nickname 'Fliss' too (and I'm not a fan of nicknames).

Constance is pretty but I would want to avoid being called Connie so for that reason, imho, it is better as a middle name

daimbar · 14/11/2016 21:00

Would she go by the name of Connie?
Constance Felicity is quite a mouthful but Connie is lovely.

SaltyBitch · 14/11/2016 21:00

Or Fliss, or Lissy. I've never been Flick.

Thatwaslulu · 14/11/2016 20:59

It depends on what you think of the common nicknames and which you prefer - Connie or Flick?

SaltyBitch · 14/11/2016 20:55

Felicity is my name. It has been lovely to live with.
