Thinking of using Felicity for DC1 if she is a girl. Interested to know your views?

Middle name possibilities Frances, Laura, Maeve, Anais...

Felicity Is a lovely name... I'd go with Laura too it's a fantastic but I may be biased as that's my name Grin

HeyMicky · 26/04/2020 22:26

It was our second choice for DD2. Love it.

timetest · 26/04/2020 22:27

Felicity is lovely. I’m not too sure about Frances for a middle name as the double Fs might be too much.

june2007 · 26/04/2020 22:30

Yep know two girls called Felicity good name.

scrivette · 26/04/2020 22:43

It's a lovely name.

Chillipeanuts · 26/04/2020 22:46

Very pretty name. Congratulations.

Drivingdownthe101 · 26/04/2020 22:47

Lovely name, I have one Smile

LotusClover · 26/04/2020 22:52

It's quite nice but the nickname "Flick" is horrible.

Drivingdownthe101 · 26/04/2020 22:55

No one has ever called mine ‘flick’. Someone called her ‘fliss’ once and she corrected them. She’s just Felicity.

zscaler · 26/04/2020 22:55

I think it’s beautiful! And I had a very beloved great aunt felicity who was wonderful.

Such lovely responses, thank you. Do you think it would be refreshing if you heard a baby named it now? I only know of one adult Felicity and I love the meaning of the name. I think it would carry well through life Daffodil

Also, what would be your middle name preference or alternative suggestion? TIA x

Gorgeous name! Middle name depends a bit on surname for me. I love Frances though.

Ellmau · 27/04/2020 10:33

Felicity Laura would be lovely.

MrsMonicaBing · 27/04/2020 10:34

Ooh I absolutely love it

Drivingdownthe101 · 27/04/2020 10:34

WendyByrde mine is 6 and we’ve always had a positive response to her name.

peperethecat · 27/04/2020 20:01

I think it's beautiful. I'd go with a one syllable middle name. Felicity Maeve is perfect.

Blursula · 27/04/2020 20:07

I know a baby Felicity and I see it as quite a grown up name. I like it but less keen on Flick, Fliss and Flissy - so depends how you feel about it being possibly shortened when she’s older

missfliss · 27/04/2020 20:08

I'm a Felicity ❤️
My name is shortened to Floss or Flossy for family, Fliss for friends.

It's a lovely memorable name

missfliss · 27/04/2020 20:09

PS I'm a Felicity Faith
