Which name do you prefer, Emily or Felicity?
the middle names are Charlotte Carrie 🥰
Thank you so much!

That's a hard one, I really do like both names.

I think maybe Felicity by a hair wins for me but I do love Emily

MacaroniCheeseCat · 25/04/2022 12:48

Felicity! It’s just so pretty. I also like the meaning.

delshell · 25/04/2022 13:10

Felicity! Beautiful name and like a PP I love the meaning.

We have a little Felicity so I may be biased :) But people are always commenting what a lovely name it is.

Felicity strikes me as a very "girly" name. It's probably because I had a pencil case with this character on as a child en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicity_Wishes haha
But there's nothing at all wrong with a girly name, and I think this connotation with the fictional fairy isn't widespread, probs just me, and even if it was, it wouldn't matter. Who doesn't like fairies.

I don't love Felicity, it's a little bit drippy. But it's better than Emily.

KirstenBlest · 25/04/2022 13:42

Emily. Felicity is too long

IStandWithMaya · 25/04/2022 13:45

Felicity. I also like Felicia.

allthenamechanging · 25/04/2022 13:48

I prefer Emily- it's a bit more 'boring'/classic than Felicity but I find Felicity has become quite popular where I live and I think it's a bit long, it's weird that it contains the word 'city'.

KirstenBlest · 25/04/2022 13:49

Feliciia sounds a but too close to ...

I think Emily sounds drippy but it's better than Felicity

SunshiningBoo · 25/04/2022 13:50

I prefer Felicity. Lovely middle names too!

Brightrainbow · 25/04/2022 13:56

Emily
its so fresh and pretty
(I’m biased as my sil is an emily)

KirstenBlest · 25/04/2022 13:56

Yes, like Electricity, Intercity, Reciprocity, Velocity...

Luredbyapomegranate · 25/04/2022 15:08

Felicity, both nice but too many Emily and Emilias

Charlotte and Carrie are sort of the same name, if it matters to you - as in Carrie is short for Caroline which is, like Charlotte, a feminine of Charles

addler · 25/04/2022 15:34

Both lovely, so I'm not very helpful

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 25/04/2022 15:36

Felicity ❤️ I know a Felicity, Fliss for short. Love it.

AdaColeman · 25/04/2022 15:38

Felicity is a beautiful name.

KayEmAy · 25/04/2022 16:37

Team Felicity! <3

TashieWoo · 25/04/2022 16:40

Felicity definitely, Emily is a bit drippy and I’ve never met a nice one!

DramaAlpaca · 25/04/2022 23:38

Felicity by far.

MojoJojo71 · 25/04/2022 23:40

Felicity, I love it. Emily is a bit ‘meh’ for me
