Not keen on Felicity - a bit old fashioned IMO

MrsMattie · 14/01/2010 21:29

I like Phoebe best, then Felicity. Don't like the other two. Lucille much prettier than Lucinda imo.

DoNotFeedMeBiscuits · 14/01/2010 21:12

I have an Aunt Felicity, known to all and sundry as Fizzy. there's another nn option for you!

CantSleepWontSleep · 13/01/2010 08:39

Felicity then Phoebe.

ellesabe · 12/01/2010 19:27

Felicity and Phoebe

Lotkinsgonecurly · 12/01/2010 19:21

I love Clementine, clearly against popular opinion. But I loved Jemima for dd and was overuled by dh on operating table.

Laurily · 12/01/2010 19:15

It is very popular to name girls Phoebe in the last few years and is an annoying name to spell for little 'uns (although I do love it and is probably my favourite of the four). Please do not call her Clementine, except perhaps as a middle name if it is a family name that it precious to you. The world is not yet ready for the revival of that name (although this is from a woman whose friend has just named her daughter Elsie)

I like Lucinda and Phoebe. Clementine sounds pretty, but couldn't imagine calling a child that.

Openbook · 12/01/2010 18:54

Phoebe

Jamieandhismagictorch · 12/01/2010 18:54

The only one I like is Clementine, but I like that quite a lot

mazzystartled · 12/01/2010 18:43

I love Clementine

I would have like Phoebe for DD but DH maintained he couldn't spell it.

Lucinda and Felicity both a bit fussy/landed gentry for my liking

Heated · 12/01/2010 18:40

In order of preference:

  1. Lucinda
  2. Phoebe
  3. Felicity
  4. Clementine
nikkisbump · 12/01/2010 17:54

Phoebe is lovely, and Lucinda!

Another nn for Felicity would be Fliss, every Felicity I know has been called this at some point. Don't know if this would bother you?

Sparkletastic · 12/01/2010 17:52

Phoebe

wb · 12/01/2010 17:51

In order:
Phoebe
(big gap)

Felicity

('nother big gap)
Clementine
Lucinda

Mammina · 12/01/2010 17:44

Clementine, it's beautiful

jellybeans · 12/01/2010 17:06

Lucinda

Raahh · 12/01/2010 16:11

I like Felicity- the one i know shortens it to Fliss.

Thanks!

Clementine, is DD's middle name, definitely the best!

Hassled · 12/01/2010 15:58

She will NOT be called Fellatio .

Hassled · 12/01/2010 15:58

Felicity, then Phoebe.

MaggieMnaSneachta · 12/01/2010 15:56

Phoebe by a long way. Gorgeous name.
Lucinda is nice, lots of nick names too. Lindy is nice
Clementine is not my style, but clea or cleo could be a cute nn.
Felicity is AWFUL. She'll be called fellatio and there's no obvious nick name, except flik which is really ugly.
