Apricity for a girl

[stairway]

Found this word in the dictionary meaning the warmth of the sun on a winters day. Thinking it would make an excellent unusual girls name, particularly one born in the winter months. Thoughts?

I read that as April City.Nooo.

Awful, stop inventing names, poor child

It's also a racist website. I wouldn't.

Thoughts? Shit thread alert.

Tesni is a really pretty name. Never heard it before.

It sounds like an electric company, sorry!

You've muddled your books up!
You need a baby names book, not a dictionary!!

It sounds like a disease or condition.

Tesni is lovely.

Apricity sounds like a utility company

Apricity, sorry it does sound like an eco-power supplier or a facial product with Apricot kernels for abrasion.

I really love the meaning and also the Welsh name offered by a pp
Tesni sounds so lovely ☀️

Loving meaning, very harsh sounding word and doesn't flow well off the tongue. Sorry.

welsh names for girls

It's a lovely meaning but let me share this. My sister has a somewhat unusual name, most people mispronounce it or end up calling her something completely different.

It pissed her off all throughout school and as an adult she only ever goes by her (common, easy to pronounce) nickname.

It's a lovely thought, but just not practical.

I am not understanding this constant trend to find an unusual name in the hope that no one else will share it.
I am not understanding the trend when people post asking for names of future children to go with names of existing children, what is that all about?
Do not get me atarted on posts about name regret...
Yes, it is a bonkers name, go for something traditional.

Are there not enough actual names?

I have a very difficult to pronounce and remember name for the culture I live in but at least it has the excuse that it makes some sense as a name in the culture I come from. To give a child a name that is difficult to pronounce and remember without having any connection to anything, it is literally a word picked out of a dictionary, is not a good idea.

Please just use April Felicity. Apricity can be her nickname when she's older if she chooses.

It's the name of a fictional wanky London restaurant in one of the Cormoran Strike books, and apparently the actual name of a fertility clinic (which I just discovered when I googled to see if the restaurant actually exists).

It's a nice word but I wouldn't use it as a name. It sounds like your husband wanted Apple and you wanted Felicity so you agreed to merge the two when you were still high on gas and air.

She'll have a lifetime of spelling and explaining it to people.

I just googled it and the first result was Apricity fertility clinic, so I'd assume you'd had problems conceiving and were super-grateful for their help and thus named your child after them. I would think it a bit weird to saddle the kid with the name, I mean, name them after the consultant, whatever, but a company? Nah.

Don't. I know one parent that gave their child a truly unique name. I mean a word that isn't a name, not reported in the ons survey due to uniqueness. It did not go well and name was changed after 2 years at school. Think about what your child would want rather than what you want.

I love the meaning but I also googled and the first thing that came up was a fertility clinic. To me it sounds contrived and a bit like a skincare product or something.

There are loads of lovely names meaning ‘sun’ if that’s what appeals:
Aelia/ Aeliana
Idalia
Kalinda
Oriane
Solara
Suree

Tesni is a very pretty name, but Apricity is not. Nickname 'Ape', I don't think so!

Potential abbreviations /nicknames at school Pissy, Shitty?

A "unique " name often sets up the child for a lifetime of (at best) tedious explanations/repetitions and (far worse), wretched teasing/ taunting at school.

Sounds like you wanted to call her April and your Dh felicity so you compromised, badly

Got a young lady called Apricity in our primary school. Lovely name. No problems with the kids pronouncing it at all.

I bet you do Monkey and I bet her sister is called La-a.
