Felicity Seren Mary

What do you think?

Or Evelyn Seren?? Or too many vowels?!

Boy will probably be Henry......

To me Felicity is a happy, lively, bouncy name (meaning happiness), but I'm not a fan as I don't like the sound of it. Seren is calm, like Serene. So it's a bit of a contradiction. But that's just me.

I like felicity. I also like seren for a middle name. not keen on Mary.

southeastdweller · 03/10/2013 20:27

Too 'jolly hockey sticks' for me, plus I hate the 'Flick' abbreviation.

olivo · 03/10/2013 20:27

You could shorten to Lissy?

Allalonenow · 03/10/2013 20:34

Felicity Seren Mary, I think you have a lovely combination of names there. I really like Felicity, both the meaning and the sound. There are a few other NN if you do not favour Flick.

HeirToTheIronThrone · 03/10/2013 20:36

I know a lovely Felicity and she shortens to Felix which is just cool IMO :)

5madthings · 03/10/2013 20:41

Love Felicity, it was on my list bit dp said no :(

Also like seren, both lovely names :)

I have a dd Felicity & a ds Henry, so you have very good taste! Wink

NauseousKitty · 03/10/2013 21:11

Love Felicity. Fliss is a cute NN or Lissa.

MrsMarigold · 03/10/2013 21:17

I love Felicity.

LittleMissPear · 03/10/2013 21:26

I love it too, it's my name! I've always loved it, people often comment and I like that it's a 'grown up' name. I do get called flick for short but I don't mind it!

heidihole · 03/10/2013 21:34

I think thats a lovely name

weaselinthenight · 03/10/2013 21:54

I love it. And I have a Henry :-)

eatyourveg · 03/10/2013 22:11

Fliss Flick, Fil, and I think for a brief spell as a teenager, Floss may have been in there too and now there are students who just never remember how to pronounce it and you end up being called facility which just reminds me of a public convenience! Am very strict on it not being shortened but no-one ever listens. I do like the fact that there aren't many of us around though.

ImaginaryHat · 03/10/2013 22:47

Its my no1 choice if I'm ever lucky enough to have a baby girl. Love the nn Fliss and knew one who close friends called her Itty.

Rosencrantz · 04/10/2013 02:32

I'm a Felicity nicknamed Fliss :)

Thank you everyone!
Discussed with husband and he's quite keen on Felicity Seren Rose (Rose is a family name on his side) so think we're decided at last just in case it is a girl!
