Felicity or Juliet?

[Lucilia]

After many late night discussions, shortlist for our baby girl due early 2021 :)

Which name do you prefer and why?

Thank you!!

Both lovely, but I think Juliet edges it

Both beautiful names. I like them both but if I had to choose I would say Juliet because its nice regardless of how old the person is, Felicity suits a more older person.

Felicity I think. I love the diminutive Fliss.

I love Juliet too, as long as it's pronounced JOOLyet with the stress on ths first syllable, not Juli-ETTE.

Both nice but I prefer Juliet.

Prefer Felicity but they’re both lovely

Felicity by a mile for me
Juliet is nice but so often gets shortened to Jules whether you like it or not

Felicity is a lovely name with great nickname options

Felicity is pretty and fliss/flick are lovely nn. Juliet is ok but jules/ju aren’t nice at all and it will get shortened

Felicity.

I really like Felicity. Juliet is nice but a little boring. And agree with others, nn for Juliet aren't great.

Much prefer Juliet - it’s classic, elegant and less ‘Pony Club’ than Felicity. Jet and Ettie are other possible nicknames to swerve Jules (which I agree isn’t great).

Juliet is lovely. Felicity is very dated, frumpy and a bit of a mouthful.

Felicity, especially as so many people struggle to pronounce Juliet.

Felicity, I think... But it’s very close.
I like Juliet but prefer Julia.

I have a Juliette who unlike previous replies does not get shortened to Jools ever (and as she's 10 there's been plenty of time for it to have happened) and also no-one has any problem pronouncing it or spelling it.
Love it as its not too popular so not many around but its a name everyone knows.

Felicity is lovely, and a wonderful meaning. Not keen on Juliet at all - the name itself is OK, but she's the heroine of an absolutely tragic story. Not a nice association IMO.

They are both great names but I personally just love the sound of Juliet.

I like both but really dislike Fliss and Flick as nicknames, so for that reason prefer Juliet.

Felicity!

I like both but Felicity has risen in popularity recently so I’d probably go with Juliet. I’ve not met any Juliets younger than me.

Juliet is lovely, and would be unusual where I live.

I call my Juliet J for short but mainly use her full name. future nicknames are her business

I do like Felicity though, lovely meaning
