Quick vote please - Verity or Felicity, plus reasons!

[pennyapples]

Sister to Nancy if that has a bearing. Two syllable surname. Middle names would be Helena Ruth

I prefer Felicity as I like the meaning of the name and I think Flick is quite a cool nickname. Also the name of someone I knew and she was very charismatic :)

Felicity! Great meaning and sound. Great nicknames.

Verity sounds uptight.

Felicity is pretty, fun and unusual. Verity sound earnest, prim and like a Puritan.
My mum nearly called me Verity. Fortunately she didn't.

Felicity, because Flick is such a cool nickname

Felicity. It's gorgeous, has a much nicer meaning and Flick and Fliss are both fabulous nicknames.

Verity sounds stuffy, puritanical and just not very pretty to me.

Both are beautiful. Don't let people put you off Verity! I think Nancy and Verity sound good together!

I prefer Felicity.

Felicity, because the most pessimistic person I've ever met was a Verity!

Both lovely names, but I would pick Verity, classy strong name.

Felicity, no particular reason I just think it's a much nicer name!

Felicity because I like the meaning (it was on my list of girls names for DC2 - I didn't get to use it bacuause I had a boy).

Felicity!

gosh - I was totally expecting this to go the other way!
I was kind of leaning more towards Verity - only reservation is lack of obvious shortening (I'm a shortening kind of a person - know not everyone is)
but interesting that people think Verity is a bit dull / uptight!

Verity is a whey faced, sharp tongued misery guts.

Felicity is so much more joyful and carefree.

hahaha
so you don't like it then

I like both. Have taught a verity who was known as V.

Felicity

Flick is a good nn

Plus there was a tv show called felicity which was pretty good

Verity is a large statue by Damien Hirst in Ilfracombe. Horrid thing it is, so I'm all for Felicity.

I prefer Felicity, it's prettier and has more nickname options. I don't see Verity as uptight and it sounds good with Nancy but I think it sounds more 'serious' with your middle names, if that makes sense.

Gileswithachainsaw I'd completely forgotten about the TV show called Felicity. Used to be obsessed by it!

is it a baby name though? or a grown up name? actually come to that am not sure Verity is a baby name either - but if am refocusing on felicity (am coming round) does it suit a baby?
I like Fliss

Loved it. Seemed the more grown up version to Dawson's creek :o

Verity.

Felicity is wet. I knew one growing up. she was just basically known as 'Facility' . She Never got called "Flick" which just makes me think of Herr Flick anyway.

Felicity. I know one called Fifi.

I always liked the name Verity, until I met one known as Ferrety.

I personally like both names but I would choose Felicity as I think it will be better received by people. And I think many of the posts here bear this out.
