Page 2 | Thought on Felicity?

Dh suggested it, I can't make up my mind if I like it or not.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Oh and DD, 4.5 is most insistent on only Felicity. She absolutely refuses any nicknames and will correct anyone that dares to try Fliss or Flick. I sometimes call her Flossie as that’s my dad’s pet name for me. I get glared at 😂

Your DD could be me! I’m the same only 40 odd years older! I refuse to answer to anyone who shortens it!

I hate it! It's a horrible mouthful! Its my name and I avoid using it at all times.
I go by Fliss (at work too) or Flissy to close friends. I refused to have it on my wedding invitations as I dislike it so much!

I get called it properly by drs and other 'official' things as obviously its the name on my records and it really jars when people say it!

Love it, I know a couple of felicity's one adult one child and both are the definition of the name!
Between them their nicknames are fizz, fliss, flick and Flossie dependant on what group of people they are in

Lovely pretty name with cute nn potential. I love fliss and flissy ❤️.

blackpear · 01/03/2024 19:25

I love it.

Stunning

I'm afraid I don't like it at all - too frilly and too many syllables for me. But it's whether you like it that counts. It's certainly not a bad name in any way.

It's a beautiful name, I have a felicity, family call her flick friends call her fliss.

I have a Felicity too, she's nearly 3.

We call her Flicky or Fliss a lot of the time ☺

I don't regret our choice at all, we have had really nice comments on her name too!

Moier · 01/03/2024 19:13

If my daughter had had a girl this was the name she chose ( she had 3 boys) . I absolutely love it.
It's a simply stunning name.

Roselilly36 · 01/03/2024 18:46

My absolute favourite girls name, if I had a girl I would have chosen it.

sykadelic · 01/03/2024 18:38

Not my personal choice for name or nicknames, but you do you.

All I think of is the TV show Felicity and how when she cut her hair the shows ratings dropped and the show was cut. It ended up resulting in clauses in TV contracts about how you can't change your appearance without permission. Huge drama back in the day.

AlltheFs · 01/03/2024 18:33

I have a Felicity- love it.
But don’t use it, I don’t want too many 😂

PickledScrump · 01/03/2024 18:32

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

KohlaParasaurus · 01/03/2024 16:07

I really like Felicity. My mother put me off choosing it for my first daughter by saying it was "a cat's name" (I know, what?), and my XH wasn't keen. But if I'd had another daughter after my youngest I was going to have confidence in my own judgment and use it.

pontipinemum · 01/03/2024 16:04

Love it. I was in a 'group' with one at school. Her name wasn't shortened.

Cinnamonandclove · 01/03/2024 16:00

I love it.

Lulu1919 · 01/03/2024 15:53

Love

caramac04 · 01/03/2024 15:12

Love it. Unfortunately doesn’t go at all with my surname or I would have chosen it.

Samzzz · 01/03/2024 14:51

It’s nice but it’s too long and she’ll most likely never get called Felicity and will go by a nickname… probably Fliss

Words · 01/03/2024 14:38

Love it!

Re nicknames- I have a beautiful four syllable name which has many many options for nicknames/ shortening. I have always loved the full name so gently insist people use it. It's your choice what people call you, after all.

Namiochangio2024 · 01/03/2024 14:29

I have one and am happy with the choice. She’s the only one we know, and the only one in her primary school (not that I was particularly bothered about being “unique”). We aren’t remotely horsey or posh and don’t live in that kind of area so that wasn’t a concern for me. She is just Felicity, doesn’t go by any of the standard nicknames as we (and now she, she’s old enough to make her own mind up) didn’t like them.

The only time I think it doesn’t sound very nice is in a broad Leeds type accent, when it sounds like “Felicit-eh” rather than the proper “ee” sound at the end.

We’ve always got a good reaction from people to her name, but I don’t suppose people tell you if they hate your child’s name so I guess that doesn’t mean much!

I love the name Felicity. My husband loved it too and wanted to use it when we found out we were having a girl. Unfortunately it does not sound nice in our local accent and I knew that would bug me and him, so we went with something else. But it really is a very pretty name and we loved the meaning very much.

Am I unreasonable to really want to know what your local accent is now ? 😂

Lovely name, great meaning. Interestingly, if you'd asked 5 years ago you would have got a few replies saying 'horsey/posh', but there don't seem to be any on this thread, which suggests it's lost that 'feel', prob with rising popularity.

It still has that feel for me unfortunately. I don’t know why and I’m sure if I met a young felicity that would change, but it just makes me wince a bit for some reason.

SoulMole · 01/03/2024 14:17

My best friend is Fliss. She likes being a Felicity.
