Felicity

[css04]

What's everyone's thoughts on Felicity?

Both me and my husband really like it but there is something holding us back and we don't really know what!

It's a beautiful name. I love it.

A friend has a DD called Felicity (6m), nn Fliss - it's lovely.

I like it, but I’m not keen on the common short forms of Fliss or Flick.

Felicity was quite common in the 80's (in posher circles!) and was often shortened to Flick. It's a lovely name.

I expect you'll get people saying it's horsey and posh.

I like it, a lot - lovely name with lovely meaning, straightforward to spell, very much a 'suits all ages' name. I think it's getting increasingly popular, if that bothers you, though don't reckon it will ever be on the Olivia/Lily/Isla scale.

It always reminds me of a very posh 65 year old woman, sorry.

I think Felicity is a lovely name. You probably know but it means “good fortune, happiness”.

Lovely name.

Felicity is a gorgeous name!

It’s lovely. I really like.

I like it but like lots of the virtue names it could be hard to live up to.

I knew one who abbreviated to "Fizz". (She was indeed posh)

I love it and really wanted it for DD but DH wasn’t keen. I think it’s a lovely combination of pretty, strong and elegant and it has a lovely meaning.

Lovely name

It's ok. I know what you mean with something holding you back on it. It's a name I feel l should like more than I do and sometimes I feel warmer to it than others. But it's not a name I love and I can't put my finger on why. Maybe a bit too hissy/prissy/twee? All the nicknames are dreadful as well.

Gorgeous, my favourite girls name, lovely meaning to. If I had had a girl I would have chosen this name. But no, two gorgeous boys for me 😂

I like it. There was one in circle in secondary school. I don't recall us having any nn for her

I’m a Felicity! Absolutely not posh, I’m from the north east and went to my local comp. Often autocorrects to Facility or, in one memorable occasion while signing off a work email on my phone, Delicious

Thanks everyone! I know it's not to everyone's taste but I think it's a lovely and underused name!

We would probably shorten to Fliss.

If anyone has any good suggestions for a middle name too? X

For middle names I'd avoid Rose and Grace. They are the most common middle names given and are totally bland to me as a result. Here are some but unless you are going with a family name, then it probably makes as much sense to choose from a list of other names you and your husband like.

I think its beautiful.

I have a DD (5m) Felicity, we have only had positive things said about it.

I love Felicity and love nicknames Fliss and Lissy. I have hard time thinking of middle name. Maybe
Felicity Bridget
Felicity Anne
Felicity Beatrice
Felicity Helena
Felicity Matilda

Love it ;)

Love it! Not common either which is nice.

Middle names avoid the filler names of Rose/Grace/May which all girls have at the moment and are overused.

“Delicious” - brilliant!

I really like Felicity. Do you have to have a middle name? Not everyone does.
