What do you think of the name Felicity?

DH and I both love it.

I never thought of it until I saw a video today with the actress Felicity Jones, and now it's stuck in my list of favourite names for our baby girl due early 2021!

I'm not from the UK originally, so curious as to how it's considered here?

Love it, would have liked to use it for DD but it's a close family relatives name who DM doesn't get on with so wasn't worth backlash from that!

Love it, although it always makes me think of Rik from the Young Ones and his crush on Felicity Kendall. 'Felicity, Felicity,you fill me with electricity!'
Hah I don't know Felicity Kendall or Rik from the Young Ones :D Not being from the UK, I feel like there's a lot of popular UK references I don't know, which is why it's so useful to ask on this forum!

@tinygigolo

I have one too! She's the only one in her school so it's the perfect combo of unusual but not weird
How lovely! Does she love her name?

I think I'm more and more convinced! And that's the result I'm looking for, not too common (I love Isabella but have been told there are a lot of them), not too unusual that it would make her stand out in a bad way.

The only one I can think of is Felicity Kendall, so it must be due a revival. Lovely

Or Felicitys?

It’s a beautiful name. I know a couple of English Felicities.
