I love felicity, Harriet and Alice.

We wanted Alice for our first if he was a girl, but I was put off by everyone quoting that bloody song!

RavenWings · 17/01/2018 20:08

Anything but Millicent. I don't really like Harriet either but Felicity and Alice are nice.

Coey2016 · 17/01/2018 20:15

Felicity Alice sounds great!

SuperBeagle · 17/01/2018 20:17

Felicity or Alice.

Not a fan of Harriet or Millicent. They have completely different vibes than Felicity and Alice, which are much softer, more feminine, and more timeless.

MadameJosephine · 17/01/2018 20:22

Felicity by a mile, beautiful name. Felicity Alice is gorgeous

MrsP8899 · 17/01/2018 20:28

Thank you everyone for all of your help, hearing what you associate with each name has helped us realise that we really do like the femininity of the name Felicity and are almost positive that we’ll be using it. Felicity Alice is our most preferred combination for first and middle name, however if you’ve got anymore middle name suggestions we’d love to hear

Alice. I think it’s elegant and timeless.

Pemba · 17/01/2018 20:46

Alice, no contest, it is such a beautiful name, much the nicest. My second favourite is probably Harriet.

Felicity is OK, but a bit frilly and fussy. Millicent is a bit dowdy somehow, although I love Millie.

Harriet

mondler · 17/01/2018 20:57

My vote would have gone for Harriet but Felicity Alice is very pretty. Some other middle names could be:

Felicity Jane
Felicity Beatrice
Felicity Elizabeth
Felicity Isla
Felicity Sophia

Chienrouge · 17/01/2018 20:58

Felicity (I’m biased Wink)

AdaColeman · 17/01/2018 21:00

Felicity Alice is beautiful, just perfect!

daisypond · 17/01/2018 21:02

I like Felicity and Alice the most, so Felicity Alice is very nice. I don't like Harriet or Millicent. Daphne?

Hebenon · 17/01/2018 21:04

Felicity or Harriet. Felicity Alice is lovely.

user1472206348 · 17/01/2018 21:11

my 7 month old is a Felicity but we call her Flissy . my eldest is Annabell/Annie

Love the names.

DramaAlpaca · 17/01/2018 21:31

Felicity Alice is lovely. Good choice.

Serafinaaa · 17/01/2018 21:50

Great names! I have one and my daughter is another!

pilates · 17/01/2018 22:18

Harriet by a mile

FizzyGreenWater · 17/01/2018 22:25

Yes, Felicity or Harriet.

Alice I just don't like, no idea why.

Millicent is really horrid - very harsh and Millie is also not to my taste.

Joeybee · 17/01/2018 22:45

Felicity - A bit too girly and cutesy. Also I've never met a Felicity who wasn't a bitch. Flick/Fliss are nice nicknames.

Harriet - Love it, a strong name and Harri is a gorgeous nickname. Harriet could be anyone she wants, I think it's hard to associate any one type of person with this name. I like how it's well known but not too popular.

Alice - I like it, Love the Alice in Wonderland association too. However I think Alice is a bit boring if I am honest. More a middle name.

Millicent - Don't like it. It's a bit harsh sounding, like Gertude or something. I like Millie as a nickname for a little kid, but not for anyone older.

BinkyBuntyFintyCunty · 17/01/2018 22:46

Def Felicity or Harriet. Both lovely.

Greensleeves · 17/01/2018 22:47

I like Alice and Harriet, not so keen on the others but they're not dreadful

mum2be2boys · 17/01/2018 23:00

I really like the name Felicity Alice :-)

My only concern with a vowel middle name would be what her initials could spell now/if she gets married in the future. Eg she might like FAB as initials but maybe not FAT?! I probably over think these things though!

Intercom · 18/01/2018 00:08

Millicent, then Felicity.

MrsP8899 · 18/01/2018 00:15
Shock Oh no!! Now I’m panicking about the possibilities!! Shock
