Hallie, Felicity or Maya

[Olthe]

Just wanting opinions on the above names or if you can think of any nice names instead. Thank you

Felicity is my favourite girls

Hallie is pretty but I would spell it Halle.

Felicity has grown on me a lot, I think it's beautiful.

Maya is my favourite but there are likely to be pronunciation issues. Some people will say "may-a", some will say "my-a" - I would say "may-a" but I have no idea which is the correct way.

Hallie is becoming incredibly popular. I work in childcare and know 6 Hallie's under the age of 3 xx

Maya

I have a Felicity, she's 3 and she absolutely hates her name.. won't let anyone call her it. Obviously could be different for you but we are now stuck with Flick 😑

Felicity

Maya but it is very popular.

Thank you, yeh I’m not sure on the nickname Flick so maybe Felicity isn’t the name I’ll go with although I like Fliss.

I love Felicity ❤️

If you like Felicity how about Jemima?

Delilah
Edith
Clementine
Margot
Martha
Ottilie

Felicity.

Or Felicia is lovely too.

I think they’re all lovely.

We have a Maya and do get issues with pronunciation. We say it My-A (like Maya Angelou) but most people say May-A. Doesn’t really bother me but depends on how irritating you would find it.

Verity is also a lovely girl name.

Other names on our list were:

Mia
Freya
Cecilia
Florence
Safiya

Hallie - I prefer Hailey and Hallie for short as when she is a adult she might want a less nicknamey kind of name

Felicity - Pretty in theory but a but a bit girly girly, so if she is more tomboyish it would not work

Maya - Nice name in theory again, but very very overused, and teachers and the like are apparently (acording to dd) ALWAYS pronouncing it wrong

what about Natasha, Isabelle, Olivia or Jade ??

Of the three, I like Hallie best.

The pronunciation of Maya would really put me off.

Oooh, I like all of them! I think if I were choosing it would depend on how many syllables are in the surname. Felicity would suit a one syllable surname, more than the others I reckon x

Don't call her Felicia, it's reminiscent of the whole Bye Felicia thing.

I like all three. Agree with the pp saying spell Hallie as Halle though.

I would probably go for:

1. Halle
2. Felicity
3. Maya

I have always loved the names Harlow and Myla which are unique and uncommon but not too modern. I really like Hallie too though but I think as they get older it might be too much of a nick name. I know three felicity’s - one who goes by fee, fliss or tee and one who goes by lissy so it varies.

I think Hallie is a bit down market compared with Felicity. Maya is somewhere in between and lots of similar names out there.

Halle

Another one for Felicity 👍

I think Hallie sounds like a nickname and not a ‘proper’ name, although I think it sounds nice as a nickname. I always think names should grow with you as you age (and feel a lot of children at the moment will outgrow their diminutive names). But that is just my opinion! The other two names are lovely but Maya is very popular at the moment. If that doesn’t bother you though (no reason it should!) then go for it.
