Contemplating Felicity for my baby if it's a girl. Not so keen on Flick, quite like Fliss. Any others???

I have a friend called felicity and we call her felix. Smile

I knew a Felicity who we all called Fliss. WHich I see you already have, so not much help there!

Grin If it is a girl, she'll have 2 older brothers. So could well be Felix if she's a tomboy!

Fifi's sweet. My 2 sons have nn that have nothing to do with their real names, so I expect this baby will be the same.

Felicity is nice, but I dislike Flick and Fliss. Fi is OK as nickname.

MrsOzz · 08/11/2011 22:29

Flee (I know one!)
Liss
Lissy
Cece (SeeSee)
Fifi

Oh and Fizz!

Effie

For some reason I think Lettie is passable (I could be barking)

SacreLao · 08/11/2011 22:47

My friend always goes by Flick or Fizz

busymummy3 · 08/11/2011 23:01

Well on Coronation Street its Fizz enough to put you off and just stick to Felicity?

Dexifehatz · 08/11/2011 23:19

We have a Felicity Faith and call her Flissy Miss, Flissy, FeFe.I absolutely detest Flic and my Dad calls her Filly,which I think is the nickname one of the American presidents gave to his daughter.

DD has a friend called Felicity, who drives far too fast. Her nickname is Velocity.Grin

LemonDifficult · 08/11/2011 23:27

I really like Flick as a nn. Not drippy or cutesy-wutesy but funky.

I know a lovely Flick and she is v glam, ballet dancing barrister (Which may have influenced my view).

I went to school with a Felicity who was known as Fel.

Offspring · 09/11/2011 03:16

I know a little Felicity who is Flossy or Floss to her family.

I think Lissie is cute and really like Fizz! :)

Flick puts me off only because of, erm, the phrase "flicking the bean." Blush

Felicity is a family name on DH's side. His aunt Felicity is nicknamed Lucy, his niece is Diddy, and his sister's Blue. None of which really have anything much to do with Felicity, but sounds like you don't mind that sort of approach.

allhailtheaubergine · 09/11/2011 04:07

I have known three Felicitys - they were known as Fliss, Flick and Fluff.

TheBrideofFrankenstein · 09/11/2011 04:26

I know two- Tei (pronounced Tea) and Foo.

msbuggywinkle · 09/11/2011 12:29

We call ours Flissy, Lissy or Fluffy.

MorallyBankrupt · 09/11/2011 18:10

Lissie is the NN of the one I know. Great name!

BeeMyBaby · 10/11/2011 04:32

As a Felicity, I was always called Fizzy in primary/secondary school.

ThoseClementineShoes · 10/11/2011 10:07

Flixy or Trixy
