Do you know any Felicitys? If so, what are they like and do they have a nn?

I have a newborn DD named Felicity...she is registered, it's a done deal. DP and I bickered from 16 weeks onwards over what to call her. I wanted to call her Arabella, he like Georgia, so we compromised on Felicity as an 'it's ok' name for us both.
Now she's here it's just not right. It feels too formal for a tiny baby, and I know she will be an adult for a long time and a baby for the blink of an eye but I haven't actually used her name at all except when asked directly what it is. I call her Floss, which DP hates, but it suits my sweet smelling, scrumptious DD.
I guess I'm just wondering what connotations the name has for people, and what nicknames people have heard for it. I dislike Flick, before anyone suggests that one!

My name is Felicity. I've always liked it and often get complimented on it. I'm called Flick by friends and family but use Felicity at work as it's more formal. The only issue with Flick as a nn is that it looks like Fuck when written down, can cause issues!

I know a Felicity called "Fle" and my brother knows one called "Felix".

Tilly. She's lovely & in her late teens

It's a lovely name.

Get some of the Felicity Wishes Fairy books for her.

I think we all have a panic after naming our DC.

Don't worry, it is a beautiful name.

It's meaning is, as I'm sure you know is "Happiness"

I'm one, and love it. I still occasionally get compliments on what a nice name it is and it translates well so most people understand the meaning. I was called Fizzy from when I was a baby until I was about 15 when I swapped schools and decided to go with felicity instead, but fizzy suits a young girl very well I think. Only downside for me is people occasionally trip over the name and say facility.

We met a 12 year old Felicity with her mum.
She called her Fliss.

Felicity Kendalls nn is Foo she was born in the Far East and it means fortune in chinese

Only know one, late 20s, who is known by family as Phil!

I have one, she's 2 months. I adore her name and it gets lots of compliments. I don't shorten it, my dad calls her Fliss. She can't say it herself yet and calls herself Tatty!

22 months!

I know 3. They are all very different - as they would be, a name doesn't change your personality.
One is known as Flea and the other 2 are called Fliss.

I know one, she's in her 70s and everyone calls her Flick. She's very wise and is a bit of an old hippy, but a very classy hippy.

My first best friend was (still is!) Felicity, and she's always been lovely, I think it's a woefully underused name. I always called her Fliss although she was also known as Feli. And it means happiness. Good choice OP!

Felix. I know it's usually male, but not in this case.

I'm one I get fizz,fee, fil, fliss or flick! I now pretty much answer to any name that starts with an f!

It is a gorgeous name, I meant to add.

I know a Felicity who goes by Fizz. She is clever, stylish and very pretty. I have always loved her name

Or: Flicka.

Oooo just remembered another one...but she is called TJ so I forget that she is a felicity!
Short for felicity Jane somehow!

Edwin Collins does a great song called Felicity!

My DSIL is called Felicity and gets called Fliss. It's a lovely name . Congrats on the birth of your DD!

I used to know a Felicity shortened to Felly.

I have a Felicity - she is 8 and she gets called Lity - my older DD couldn't say her name when she was born!

My 32 y/o friend is known as Fee as a nn

I do know a Felicity - can't stand her, but not because of her name Shes 25 or so I think and nicknamed Flicker or Liccie.

You can really end up with anything as a nickname. For Felicity I'd guess Flick, Fliss, Floss, Fee...or the two I mentioned above.
