We've narrowed it down to either Felicity or Chloe for our new baby daughter... really can't decide so looking for opinions!

Felicity is less common than Chloe but it has been in the top 100 recently, it's more popular now than it has been ever before.

Flicka or Flicker are nicer versions of Flick and Fliss/Liss are lovely but then you have Flea, Flea City and Fleabag...

There's a really lovely sweet girl in DDs class called Chloe, so I love that.

There's also a Felicity at her swimming lesson but known as Fliss. I love Felicity as a name but not Fliss as a nickname.

So I'd go with Chloe of the two.

Felicity by a mile. Chloe is ok but a bit dull.

Ellmau · 21/04/2021 19:10

Both are very nice.

DramaAlpaca · 21/04/2021 19:20

Felicity is lovely.

I'm not keen on Chloe and find it dated.

blondie87 · 21/04/2021 19:34

If I’d had a daughter she would have been Felicity- beautiful.

DuckonaBike · 21/04/2021 19:38

Felicity. It has such a lovely meaning.

I used to know a horse called Chloe.

douliket · 21/04/2021 19:45

Definitely Felicity, it's beautiful, sorry but Chloe is so common now, everyone must knows at least 5 Chloe's,it's just a boring name when I hear it,I absolutely love Felicity,ci-ci, Fliss,there are lots of cute nn for this

Good choice, OP. 👍

partyatthepalace · 22/04/2021 18:27

Felicity. It just has more spark. Don't see any issue with your other daughter's name. I know two Felicitys - one is Issy the other is always just Felicity.

Chloe is nice enough (but I find it slightly wet) - there is always Zoe?

partyatthepalace · 22/04/2021 18:27

Oh good!

dottiedaisee · 22/04/2021 18:34

Felicity

UsuallyJustLurk · 22/04/2021 18:38

Great choice Smile We have a Felicity, she's almost four now and we've used Fifi as her main nickname since her birth. Now she's getting older she prefers Fliss, which is fine and one of the reasons we picked the name... she can pick and choose whatever nickname (or her full name) she likes. Congratulations Daffodil

Chunkymenrock · 22/04/2021 18:40

Chloe definitely!

Flymetothestars · 22/04/2021 18:50

Great choice @SazCat

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 22/04/2021 20:34

Thanks for letting us know @SazCat - it's nice when an OP comes back. Felicity is lovely.

Bluesername · 04/05/2021 16:16

Lovely choice!

ofwarren · 04/05/2021 16:18

Great choice!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 04/05/2021 16:19

@SazCat really like felicity! I know one she goes by Fliss 😍

MooseMoose · 04/05/2021 17:23

Chloe. Felicity always sounds very horsey to me and has lots of horrid nicknames - the one I knew went by 'Fizz', and also had a horse...
