Felicity or Fiona?

What sounds better, Felicity or Fiona? Middle name would be Mary. Or should we do something like Felicity Fiona Mary?

Fiona is much nicer than fussy Felicity and it goes better with Mary. Too many y's in Felicity Mary.

I'm biased, my DD2 is Felicity and she is such a ray of sunshine so I'd vote Felicity.

I know a Fiona - it's pretty and classic. Gets my vote.

user1471582494 · 28/07/2019 03:29

Felicity has my vote

Felicity, much nicer. Fiona is very dull.

I'm a Fiona of 60s vintage. I work in a school and the name does pop up from time to time.

Fiona may be dull, but Felicity sounds very frilly and pompous to me.

Have you considered Flora?

Not a fan of either but Felicity is slightly more interesting than Fiona.

Astronica · 28/07/2019 14:24

I prefer Felicity.

SemperIdem · 28/07/2019 19:05

Felicity. It has a lovely meaning.

Really don’t like Fiona, but do like the Welsh Ffion.

Felicity much better, Fiona is a bit of a 40s Scottish nurse name! Felicity Mary is great! Quite like nn Flick like on Neighbours! (Am also 40s which is why I know so much about it! Grin)

I think Felicity is really pretty. I can't hear Fiona and not think of Shrek 🙈

17caterpillars1mouse · 28/07/2019 20:52

I like both but would love to meet a little Fiona

Fiona Mary is lovely as is Fiona Felicity Mary

Fatkins · 28/07/2019 20:57

Felicity.

I find Fiona quite dated.

midsomermurderess · 28/07/2019 21:39

What puts me off Felicity is the shortnings like Fliss and Flick. Where I live there is an abundance of fifty-something Fionas.

Antonin · 29/07/2019 13:09

I think I’d go Felicity but I do like Fiona.
My only comment is that I’ve know a number of Fionas in my time and the majority of them have disliked their name and have adopted another name in adulthood. Strangely two have preferred Kim

Pinkout · 29/07/2019 14:55

Neither. If someone held a gun to my head I would say Felicity but both are very dated and not in a cool way.

MikeUniformMike · 30/07/2019 20:51

Fiona.

imtheonlyupsieone · 30/07/2019 21:57

Felicity Mary is lovely, classy. A great name.

Fiona is neither of those! Dated and kind of cheap somehow.

Felicity Fiona Mary is dreadful, and a mouthful, definitely don't do that.
