Can finding a middle for this name be any harder

Trying to think of middle name for Felicity. Four syllable word name that ends in -ee sound and strong L sound.
Word middles like Grace and Hope are off
Middle names like Anne makes Felicity into Felicitian
Longer names are out
Two syllable names like Charlotte and Beatrice are out, otherwise you got really long name in letter count.
Many lovely names are out due to similar L sounds. Felicity Giselle or Felicity Helena both strong on L.

Do you feel thinking of middle for any other name is as hard

Practically every girl I know has the middle name of May or Rose (my girl included)Grin.
Both sound pretty with Felicity

Felicity Anne works well and is nice, if you like that one. I don't think Felicitian is a word, is it? Even if it was, it wouldn't be pronounced with the emphasis on the -an ending.

Felicity Chandler?

JohnnyEyebrows · 17/01/2022 21:39

God what a palaver! Just don't give a middle name? Is it worth all this angst?

SallyGoLucky · 17/01/2022 21:41

Jane is the first name that popped into my head too.

Just don’t have a middle name. It’s not in the rules of naming a baby that there must be one.

My niece Felicity Imogen

I guess none of our ideas tickled the OP's fancy!

Felicity was our choice for a girl (had a boy). She would have been Felicity Beatrice Anna.

This is lovely.

I don’t understand all your rules OP - I think you massively overthinking - but I think one (or two) two syllable classics would be best. Or a family name.

Felicity Charlotte
Felicity Katherine
Felicity Emma
Felicity Constance

I think you want to avoid the cliches - Rose, May and Grace, and one syllables in general

GettingStuffed · 19/01/2022 23:30

Louise goes with everything

Lesina · 19/01/2022 23:30

Jim. Felicity Jim. Perfect.

TitoMojito · 20/01/2022 00:09

You could just... not give her a middle name? I don’t have one and it's never caused me any issues.

fallfallfall · 20/01/2022 00:12

not sure if it's been mentioned but Marie works with anything.

Toottooot · 20/01/2022 14:33

Just don’t have one. Problem solved. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bluebluemoon39 · 20/01/2022 14:41

No one uses their middle name so I wouldn't stress too much about it.

Felicity Rose sounds lovely.

mamatoTails · 20/01/2022 14:52

If it's that difficult, don't have one. I think they are nice if there is a meaning behind the name, to honor someone close etc, but otherwise pretty pointless.
Me and DH don't have one, and neither do any of our children.

Just don’t have one 😂
