Felicity?

I really like this with the middle name Elena or Emma (swaying slightly more towards Elena.)
I like it because it's not popular but not unheard of. Dh 'quite likes it' but can't decide.

What does everyone else think?

I like it. Had a meeting with a Felicity today who was MD of her own company and had the most beautiful blonde hair I have ever seen.

I have also met a Felicia that I liked.

I think it is a beautiful name! I have never met a Felicity.....think it would be cute on a little girl and work well up to womanhood!

Oldest DD (17yo) currently on an expedition in the Peruvian jungle is Felicity. Awesome name (but I would say that!).

Yes, its lovely

I've known 2 women with the name Felicity, both lovely, the friend from my younger days went by the NN Fliss,

EllenParsons · 30/07/2012 23:59

I like it. I have known a few over the years but I would still say it's unusual.

Badgerina · 31/07/2012 00:22

I love it. Fliss is a lovely nickname too.

AKMD · 31/07/2012 10:56

Love it.

Very nice name.

Don't like the nicknames Flick/Fliss/Fizz though.

WithACherryOnTop · 31/07/2012 13:12

Love it.

MammaTonic · 31/07/2012 16:08

It's a gorgeous name but in not kern on the NN Flick! (Anyone else way watch 'Neighbours' in the late 1990s?) I do like NNs Liss, Lissy, Fliss.

Fucking iPhone, that last post what pretty indecipherable. Allow mento translate: "I'm not keen" no 'way' but "watch" Blush

MammaTonic · 31/07/2012 16:12

I used to love that 90's American series called Felicity about a girl going to college in NYC.

She had great hair and a gorgeous boyfriend.

Sarcalogos · 31/07/2012 16:20

Love it and also love NN flick. (yep AND I watched neighbours).

I knew one who went by 'floss' as a teenager that was quite cool at the time too.

DizzyGoldBee · 31/07/2012 16:24

Lovely name, I know a 9/10 year old Felicity and she's lovely.

Nancyclancy · 31/07/2012 16:27

Thanks for your replies. It's the name that stands out from all the rest ( to me.) Other names crop up but I always go back to Felicity.

Just got to convince dh that it's the right one Grin

Sarcalogos don't know if it was intended to, but your big capital lettered AND looked quite arsey!

Sarcalogos · 31/07/2012 20:00

I was going for amused with a touch of humour.

Think it's difficult to take the moral high ground when discussing neighbours isn't it? Wink

Sorry for the diversion OP, Felicity is a lovely name.

MammaTonic · 31/07/2012 20:56

That's fine, I take it with good humour. It just didn't translate well - context can blur online. I wasn't taking any moral high ground, either :)

manicinsomniac · 31/07/2012 22:02

I love it. My Mum wanted to call me Felicity but my Dad said it was too fancy Sad

I know 2 - one is about 30 and the other is 12 and one of the most gorgeous kids I know.

MDM · 31/07/2012 22:24

Could be shortened to Fliss?

twizzlestix · 31/07/2012 22:34

Another thumbs up here, it's on our list but I dislike all the associated nn :(

duchesse · 31/07/2012 23:18

Twizzle, DD is Flea (short for Fleecy, which is the closest 21 mo DS could get to saying her name when she was born). Nicer than Flick imo which is what her friends call her.
