All nice names. Have you got a middle name planned? If so, what is it?

Otherwise, just see what she looks like when she arrives.

Felicity is one of my favourite girls names, lovely meaning too.

I love Elizabeth, we used it for dd's mn but I'm kicking myself now we're expecting dc2 as would have liked to use it as a first name.

Harriet is/was also on our list but we know a few little Harriet's locally so the popularity put me off.

Not keen on Felicity.

Felicity

Elizabeth is one of my favourite names (my middle name , my dd1's middle name - she's 11, I'm 46, for context Grin). Lot's of shortenings, great name.

Harriet was my great gran's name and I love it. There is a Harriet my dd2's class (she's 7). Again, can be shortened- but the one we know never is.

Felicity is also lovely.

I'm not much help Grin

Elizabeth, the other 2 sound like private school girls with Jack Wills and hockey sticks.

Felicity

Agree with pp who advised keeping the shortlist and then looking at baby. All 3 v nice choices

strawberrypenguin · 14/04/2018 20:26

Harriet. Lovely name

RedDwarves · 14/04/2018 20:24

I love Felicity. Elizabeth is nice too.

Not a fan of Harriet.

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 14/04/2018 20:23

Felicity would be my top choice. They're all lovely, though.

sarararararah · 14/04/2018 20:22

I don’t think you need to narrow it down more than that to be honest. We had a few options for both of our DC and when they were born, we both just knew which was the right one. All of those names are lovely.

I love felicity. I also love Melody for a little girl x

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/04/2018 20:19

Definitely Harriet, fabulous name, love Hattie !

Ohyesiam · 14/04/2018 20:17

Elizabeth, the others sound a bit drippy. And so many shortenings Liz, Betty, Betsy, Beth, Liza, Eliza.

donkey86 · 14/04/2018 20:16

I have a six month old Elizabeth, so I’m biased towards that. But I love Felicity too - it was on my list but DH wasn’t keen.

Padfoot100 · 14/04/2018 20:14

Love Elizabeth but not so keen on nn Liz or Lizzie

Met a baby Felicity recently, wasn't sure at first but now I love it

Not keen on Harriet sorry
