Really like it

On my list if I ever have a DD

It’s a very pretty name, with a lovely meaning.

I do think all the virtue names are a lot to live up to though.

BCBird · 03/03/2024 21:22

Love it

Beautiful name.
I had a friend Felicity Jane, it really suited her as she had a lovely smile.

It’s a bit old school Pony Club circa 1993. Her friends are Belinda, Philippa (Pip of course) and Lucinda.

I must like that type of name as I have a Felicity and I do like Belinda too 😁

Cute.

Lovely.

@ohsohopeful my eldest daughter came up with it when we were discussing names and it instantly felt perfect. It’s a beautiful name.

Onemoremakesthree · 01/03/2024 21:42

I love it, pretty, and a proper name but not common

I have a 3 month old felicity so I obviously love it. I do think it’s about to become quite popular though as I’ve seen it mentioned on here quite a lot since we had our baby

I have a 3 month old Felicity too! Beautiful name which I hadn't considered until a friend suggested it when I was pregnant and struggling to find something just right. I love it!

takemeawayagain · 01/03/2024 21:34

I have always hated it as it sounds really frilly and old fashioned to me. The brother of Felicity would by Quentin in my head - also hideous to my ear. I'm sure it was also a brand of sanitary towels my mum used decades ago when I was little.

AnotherCoffeeBreak · 01/03/2024 21:28

It’s a beautiful name.

Phillippeflop · 01/03/2024 21:11

I like it with nickname Lissie

YourLocal · 01/03/2024 21:10

I quite like it but it doesn’t go for the theme I’m going for 🥲as others have more common names would use otherwise

Newsenmum · 01/03/2024 21:09

It’s a lovely name. It’s just a shame I’ve really disliked most girls/women I’ve met with that name! Quite popular in upper middle class circles knew a few pony loving bitches unfortunately

MrsArcher23 · 01/03/2024 21:08

My best friend when I was 5 was called Felicity. I was devastated when her family moved away. Gorgeous name.

sendismylife · 01/03/2024 21:07

Love it!

ChocolateCinderToffee · 01/03/2024 21:06

I love it.

Amberlady · 01/03/2024 19:45

Gorgeous name, Know 2 in all, a baby and a girl who is 20.

Wishiwasonholiday1 · 01/03/2024 19:42

I have a Felicity and I love it.

It's not a popular name so there aren't any others at her school and it doesn't get shortened. She lives up to her name and is a very happy child!
