Camille or Felicity?

Which name do you prefer as a sibling for Vivienne? With Camille we live in England so would go with the English pronounciation (Kah-meel) but nickname would be Cami so as the French pronounce Kah-mee. I love Felicity but struggle to find a nice nickname. Thanks in advance!

I like Camille , though I think felicity has a better nick name, Flick or Flicka
Does anyone else remember My Friend Flicka ?

I think Camille goes better with Vivienne, but I do like Felicity too. The Felicity I know is known as Flick.

Love Camille, think I prefer it. But with Felicity you could have Fi, Fifi, Fliss as nicknames as alternative to Flick

Actually that’s not quite true. Felicity 3 is also Fliss to her parents. And Felicity 1 is called Flossie by her DH. But 2 at least were Flick at School/Pony Club.
It is still one of my favs

Felicity

Flick, Floss or Flossy for NN

Felicity.

Not a fan of Camille. It doesn't roll off the tongue easily.

All the Felicity’s I know are Flick’s. I know 4 as an adult. Lovely.

I prefer Felicity! I wouldn't shorten it, it's beautiful as it is.
