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

Which name do you prefer and why?

Thank you!! Flowers

I really like both, with a very slight preference for Felicity.

SequinSmile · 04/10/2020 12:32

I like them both to be honest. I wouldn't like Juliet to be shortened to Jules personally, so for that reason I'll vote for Felicity.

SE13Mummy · 04/10/2020 13:30

Felicity for me. Love the meaning and that there are lots of nickname possibilities.

Ellmau · 04/10/2020 15:42

Both lovely, I would slightly prefer Juliet.

Juliet.

Felicity is very head girl prissy sounding. Fliss even worse!

I like Juliette even more, should be frillier but somehow it just looks great.

FizzyGreenWater · 04/10/2020 15:59

Actually I think it's because Juliet spelled like that is only a whisker away from Julia/Julie, which seems so dated.

I love both. Assuming both sound equally good with the surname I'd edge towards Juliet, for its simplicity. I do just generally love names with 't' endings!

Parkandride · 05/10/2020 11:11

Love both and they're on my list, what else did you consider as I might like to steal some inspiration!?

I think on how the names sound alone Juliet edges in front for me

VenusClapTrap · 06/10/2020 16:18

Felicity

Lucilia · 06/10/2020 19:06

How nice @Parkandride! I considered Alice, Autumn (vetoed!), Jemima And Margot.

Both beautiful names but I prefer Felicity, I love the meaning and it has better options for nicknames. My favourite is Lissy.

Runmybathforme · 06/10/2020 19:10

Love Felicity, unfortunately, they will both be shortened. Not so keen on Flick or Fliss.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 06/10/2020 19:11

Juliet

Soulstirring · 06/10/2020 19:14

Love Juliet

EasyCheesyToast · 06/10/2020 23:47

Juliet is pretty. Felicity is old but probably unique by now. In fact we shortlisted Felicity for DD.

PlantPotting · 07/10/2020 10:58

Jemima Felicity and Margot are 3 of my favourite names @Lucilia
Juliet is nice but I wouldn't use personally because of Jules

CormoranStrike · 07/10/2020 19:30

Both lovely
If you want a shortening then Fliss works.
