Felicity, it's beautiful.

PetersonPeterson · 25/01/2016 21:57

Felicity. Love it

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 25/01/2016 21:58

Felicity. It's a lovely, classic, underused name. Amelie is a faddy and overused name that doesn't sound anywhere as nice in an English accent as it does in French

Almondbiscotti · 25/01/2016 22:05

I worry that when she's younger it will not be easy to say but as an adult it will be a lovely and sophisticated name.

Nickname for Felicity is Fliss - humph not sure about it!

Felicity.

Nicknames: Felice. Liss. Lix/Lixie (play off masc version Felix)

CoffeeCoffeeAndLotsOfIt · 25/01/2016 22:33

Amelie, without a doubt.

Sophronia · 25/01/2016 23:14

Felicity. Lissie/Lissy and Flick are other nns.

MyBigFatGreekYoghurt · 25/01/2016 23:15

Amelie

imwithspud · 25/01/2016 23:20

Felicity, it's lovely. It's a name that never occurred to me when pregnant with either of my dd's but if it was I'm sure it would have been on my list somewhere.

It's a difficult name to shorten, I remember years and years ago on Neighbours, there was a Felicity (sure it was Holly Valance who played her) who's name was shortened to 'Flick' but I'm not sure about that myself. Liss/Fliss sound nice though.

Felicity by faaar

LeaLeander · 26/01/2016 00:06

If you use the other I'd go wth the Amalie spelling.

TheCatsMeow · 26/01/2016 09:54

Amelie. Don't like felicity

Allalonenow · 26/01/2016 10:01

Felicity is a lovely name. The Felicity I know has Fizz as her nn.

Not keen on Amelie, alright for a little girl, but a bit "hippy-dippy" for a grown up.

WinterBabyHMW · 26/01/2016 11:06

Amelie! Love the NN Millie/Milly too :)

Sunshine511 · 26/01/2016 11:40

Felicity, it's lovely. There are so many Amelie's now. I think it was lovely and individual a few years ago but the fact it's more common now has made it lose its sparkle, in my eyes.x

Aquiver · 26/01/2016 11:47

Oh I love the name Felicity!

Would suit a girl/woman of any age and can be shortened into a sweet nickname easily (e.g. Fliss).

ashesandfire · 26/01/2016 14:35

Felicity definitely. Gorgeous! Amelie is too popular. I like Fliss and Fizz as nn for Felicity.

Peanutbutternutter419 · 26/01/2016 15:31

I adore the name Amelie but we have an Emily in the family and it is just too close.
Felicity is lovely too!

Kitla · 26/01/2016 15:40

Felicity - it's in a completely different league to Amelie.

Ilovegummibaers · 26/01/2016 15:51

Felicity without a doubt! Beautiful underused classic name!

Amelie/Emily/Amelia/Emily/Emmy are SO overused that they've become a little dull imo.

Luckygirlcharlie · 26/01/2016 15:53

Definitely Felicity! That was the ONE girls' name DH and I had agreed on for DC 2! It's a boy tho. It's lovely.

howabout · 26/01/2016 16:03

Both. I think Amelie Felicity works together and then she has loads of options later. Would be Amelie by default though as Felicity Amelie doesn't roll off the togue quite so well.n

GlasgowPingu · 26/01/2016 19:06

I think both are lovely names but prefer Felicity - it's the name I would have used for the wee one we're currently expecting if she's a girl (sadly it has been vetoed by my husband :()

Sofiria · 27/01/2016 12:11

Felicity! It's lovely.
