Felicity or Constance?

I prefer the nn Connie for Constance over the possible Flick for Felicity. Like Lissy but have another DD with an 'ss' nn so too much imo.

I prefer Constance over Felicity.

Re. nicknames, I've met a little Felicity who has Fee as a nn.

My niece is Felicity, known as Fliss or Lissy. I think it's a beautiful name. Not keen on Constance, sorry.

Rhubarbgarden · 24/01/2014 14:42

I love both.

Me too!

How would the initials work with your surname, any awkwardness with acronyms?

ccsays · 24/01/2014 14:49

Felicity is lovely. Constance is a bit severe, imo.

Gorran · 24/01/2014 17:19

We have an F surname so either is fine. We already have 2 girls, one beginning with I and the other F.

Felicity

Rhubarbgarden · 24/01/2014 18:16

I think if you've already got a dd with the initials FF, I'd go with Constance.

I like Felicity NN Flick and Constance NN Coco.

Sorry not much help but think I prefer Felicity

Constance (Connie) is lovely.

I quite like Felicity but really dislike Flick/Fliss/Fizz/Flee etc.

MadIsTheNewNormal · 24/01/2014 20:14

Felicity is SOOO much prettier than Constance and Fliss is a nicer NN than Flick.

Confitdecanard · 24/01/2014 20:16

I really like Connie but not Constance. Felicity is lovely.

CuntyBunty · 24/01/2014 20:19

Connie-lingus, no. My vote is for Felicity. Verity is nice too, no?

TheFutureSupremeRulersMum · 24/01/2014 20:30

Constance definitely

I'm a Felicity and I've never been called Flick once, I hate it. I use Fliss.
