Felicity or Phoebe? Also what would you use as a middle name (I prefer Biblical)? Thanks

I love Phoebe. DD is Scarlett Phoebe but it was going to be the other way round

Nickname for Phoebe is Fleabag, not that that's necessarily a deal breaker Grin

Clankboing · 24/04/2019 20:37

Felicity Hannah.

Felicity is my favourite of the two, and I love autumndreaming's suggestion of Felicity Eden.

Bumblebeesmum · 24/04/2019 20:03

I like both but I think Felicity just wins it for me
Maybe Felicity Talitha

Hitheresunrays · 24/04/2019 17:47

Felicity, definitely, such a gorgeous name, it's on the list for my little one! Much more timeless than Phoebe, and less popular too. Phoebe is lovely too tho, just prefer Felicity x

ReginaPhalange89 · 24/04/2019 17:44

Phoebe for me ! I have a Phoebe, been my favourite girls name since before I even met her dad and still love it even though it's gained popularity.

Felicity is lovely too though, I love the NNs that come with it . But still prefer Phoebe

Felicity. Loads of names go with it, and it’s more unusual. It means “happiness”.

Enko · 24/04/2019 14:07

Phoebe Mary or Delilah

Sexnotgender · 24/04/2019 13:27

Both are lovely, probably prefer Phoebe though.

MrsReader · 24/04/2019 13:25

Felicity, love love love that name

Flamingosnbears · 24/04/2019 13:13

Pheobe (Lilia) over Felicity (Anna) although Felicity is less popular if that make a difference for you...

Pretty even split so far! 3 Phoebe 2 Felicity

Thanks for the suggestions as well. Clare/Claire is quite pretty. I think it would work with Phoebe since the name Phoebe already has a Biblical link. Rachael and Anna are already names used for people I knew/ruined for me. Eve is nice but the only thing that throws me off with Eve is that she gets tossed out of Eden.
