Pretty much settled on either Carrie or Felicity. Thoughts on either would be appreciated. I sway between both. Middle name to be Frances.

My only thought with Carrie, is that it feels more of a nickname?

Thank you in advance lovely community!

Both lovely names.

Especially love Carrie, which is a name in its own right.

Sillyshell · 18/04/2020 20:45

I would go for Carrie personally, they are quite different names to me .

huckleberrychin · 18/04/2020 20:45

I love felicity. And think the alliteration of Felicity Francis is cool.

MissMarks · 18/04/2020 20:46

Felicity

IckleBear · 18/04/2020 20:47

Carrie Frances

PeskyRooks · 18/04/2020 20:50

Carrie just reminds me of the film sadly.
Felicity is nice though, nickname Flick.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 18/04/2020 20:53

Carrie

BananaLoafer · 18/04/2020 20:54

Felicity is beautiful.

Whatsyourflava · 18/04/2020 21:10

Felicity by a million miles

missyB1 · 18/04/2020 21:13

Carrie Frances flows better and sounds nicer to me.
Actually Frances Carrie is pretty lovely.

CeibaTree · 18/04/2020 21:14

Felicity Frances is an awesome combo :)

Jossina · 18/04/2020 21:28

Felicity. Carrie is a nickname for Caroline etc. And a scary/disturbing book/film lol.

NuffSaidSam · 18/04/2020 21:30

Felicity because it offers more nn options and feels more of a 'full' name. Carrie is nice but needs a longer name I think.

daisypond · 18/04/2020 21:36

Felicity is nice. Carrie is a short form for Caroline, which is fab. I’d never want it as a name in itself. Caroline Frances is great. Carrie for short.

KnobwithaK · 18/04/2020 21:46

Ooh, I quite like both actually.

Felicity Frances does have a great ring to it though.

Bubbletrouble43 · 18/04/2020 21:53

All lovely. My favourite combo would be Frances felicity though, I like Frances best out of your choices, lovely name.

Carrie7469 · 18/04/2020 21:56

Definitely Carrie, although I'm biased as you can probably tell from my username 😁

user1493494961 · 18/04/2020 21:59

Carrie seems unfinished, I would use Caroline, Carrie for short. Felicity Frances does sound nice.

SnoozyLou · 18/04/2020 22:03

Carrie is lovely. Felicity seems a bit dated.

MigginsMs · 18/04/2020 22:04

My niece is Carrie, not short for anything

flatoutpanic · 18/04/2020 22:04

I love both, but would choose Carrie of the two.

RickOShay · 18/04/2020 22:08

Felicity. Two reasons. I love Fliss. And the meaning is lovely.

PAJJ · 18/04/2020 22:13

All very helpful! Thank you!

Felicity. I like Fliss and Flick too.

I know Carrie is a proper name but I just don’t feel as if it is somehow.

AdaColeman · 18/04/2020 22:15

Felicity by a long way.
