What's everyone's thoughts on Felicity?

Both me and my husband really like it but there is something holding us back and we don't really know what!

Lovely name

I love it and really wanted it for DD but DH wasn’t keen. I think it’s a lovely combination of pretty, strong and elegant and it has a lovely meaning.

I like it but like lots of the virtue names it could be hard to live up to.

I knew one who abbreviated to "Fizz". (She was indeed posh)

Orchidflower1 · 12/01/2022 14:45

It’s lovely. I really like.

Felicity is a gorgeous name!

Lovely name.

I think Felicity is a lovely name. You probably know but it means “good fortune, happiness”.

Justcantdeal · 12/01/2022 14:35

It always reminds me of a very posh 65 year old woman, sorry.

I expect you'll get people saying it's horsey and posh.

I like it, a lot - lovely name with lovely meaning, straightforward to spell, very much a 'suits all ages' name. I think it's getting increasingly popular, if that bothers you, though don't reckon it will ever be on the Olivia/Lily/Isla scale.

Felicity was quite common in the 80's (in posher circles!) and was often shortened to Flick. It's a lovely name.

Snowiscold · 12/01/2022 14:32

I like it, but I’m not keen on the common short forms of Fliss or Flick.

APurpleSquirrel · 12/01/2022 14:30

A friend has a DD called Felicity (6m), nn Fliss - it's lovely.

GreenLowe · 12/01/2022 14:30

It's a beautiful name. I love it.
