Alice or Felicity?

Just that really :)

With our baby girl due in a few weeks, we finally narrowed it down to these two names.

Love them both, they both go with our one syllable surname.

What’s your favourite? Can’t decide AT ALL!

@Indiethecat that’s a nice comment after all the comments from mums about their daughters called Felicity 🙄🤣

Felicity

HappyEm81 · 24/12/2020 12:25

My 17 year old DD is called Felicity. She LOVES her name. She's never been called Flick. Her nickname is Floss/Flossy which she loves. I adore the name. xx

Felicity works better with Ross and Lissy is a gorgeous name. Congratulations on your wee one coming.

Felicity.

Love Alice but the camel puts me off.

Both lovely names! Sorry not helpful!

Megan2018 · 24/12/2020 12:05

@LilyRose89 my Felicity generally gets called by the full name at the moment but my nn for her is Flossie. My Dad used to call me Flossie so it sort of feels right.

Both lovely names.

Indiethecat · 24/12/2020 11:50

Alice is so much nicer.
Felicity is an awful name. It sounds ugly and frumpy

Viviennemary · 24/12/2020 11:47

I much prefer Alice.

MercyBodle · 24/12/2020 11:46

Both lovely names but I prefer Felicity with your surname. Lissy is lovely as a nickname.

youvegottenminuteslynn · 24/12/2020 11:35

Lovely names! Both girls called Felicity at my school were nicknamed Flic. I would have assumed Fliss but not the case in my experience at least.

Alice is lovely too and I have a soft spot for Lissy as a nickname for it as although it's not even a shortening, one of the loveliest girls I ever knew used it!

YakkityYakYakYak · 24/12/2020 10:58

I know a Felicity who goes by Fe as a nickname, which I think is quite nice.

YakkityYakYakYak · 24/12/2020 10:58

I prefer the name Alice, but Felicity works really well with your surname.

Alice

Sixtonskip · 24/12/2020 10:47

I prefer Alice but think Felicity goes better with your surname. Also love Lissy as a nickname.

unmarkedbythat · 24/12/2020 10:46

Felicity and I'd almost certainly end up calling her Flic.

Bottledupagain · 24/12/2020 10:44

Love Lissy as a nickname for Felicity.

Thanks all for your answers! Is it a thing that all Felicities end up with a nickname like Fliss or Flick? I like Lissy but not super fond of the others, so it might be good for thought.

Alice

Felicity

Chilldonaldchill · 24/12/2020 09:38

I like them both but I LOVE Felicity.

Twinkie01 · 24/12/2020 09:37

Do you like Ali or Flic/Fliss as a nickname! As that's what they end up being called or the two o know are.

Wackadoo · 24/12/2020 09:36

With your surname, Felicity sounds better. Both beautiful names :)
