Heidi and Finley

Felicity and Luke

I love Felicity and having a Finley, I also love that too 💕
(Although he is 14 now so he prefers it to be shortened to Fin so be prepared for that ☺️)

Felicity is beautiful. Heidi feels a bit twee in comparison.

I prefer Lucas to Luca unless you have Italian heritage. Not keen on Finley. What bout Felix?

NowThatYouSayIt · 31/01/2025 08:15

I have a good friend called Heidi who loathes her name and finds it twee, particularly in relation to the Johanna Spyri novel and its various adaptations, and associations with mountains, goatherds and wholesomeness.

I only like Felicity

Don't like your boys names at all

I like both of your girl names. They are both lovely. I think I'd probably wait and see what I thought she suited when she arrived.

Your boy names are not really to my taste but I think that's because I know some really challenging Lucas and Finlays through work with young people! Of the two I think Finley is my preference

Agree!

Moreteaandchocolate · 31/01/2025 09:08

Heidi and Finley!

BootballJoy · 31/01/2025 11:04

Felicity for me is a bit of a wet blanket name. I'd go Heidi and Finley (Luca is fine too).

Emanwenym · 31/01/2025 17:42

Heidi is nice but a little twee
Felicity has a nice meaning but long, so will be shortened Flick is awful.

Luca is too trendy and will date badly. Luke is much classier
Finley seems a bit wet.

FWIW, I read it as Luna or Finley.Blush

MassiveSalad22 · 31/01/2025 17:44

Heidi and Luca for me by far! Both were on our list, love them. Both feel like happy, friendly names.

Felicity is nice enough, Finley far too popular, but they both feel a bit prissy to me.

Roselilly36 · 31/01/2025 17:49

Felicity is my favourite girls names ever. I love Luca too.

CarCrashLifes · 31/01/2025 17:50

Felicity or Finlay

I'm a Felicity, but always been called Fliss.

My gran called me Flossie😁

Flicitytricity · 31/01/2025 17:52

Felicity and Luca ( love Luca) ❤️

Lyn348 · 31/01/2025 17:54

I don't like Felicity at all, to me it's very prissy, but there are good NN options, Flick or Fliss.
There others I really like.

Madcats · 31/01/2025 17:57

Isn't 'Finley' usually "Finlay"?

With a high chance DC's name will be spelled incorrectly, you might prefer to make it a second name.

I say this as a mother to a Phoebe.

Emanwenym · 31/01/2025 18:22

@Flicitytricity Fliss is OK, but little Felicity might wish to be Flick.

@fernie19 , the Heidis I know are Heids or Dee
.
@Madcats , the Finley spelling is much more popular in England & Wales.

KayEmAy · 31/01/2025 19:22

Felicity and Luca are gorgeous choices :)

theduchessofspork · 31/01/2025 19:23

Felicity (I love it) or Finlay
Unless you’d consider Luke?

Luca has shot up from nowhere and become so popular it will date badly. Heidi I really don’t like - it’s sort of half twee half sexy barmaid, which is disconcerting.
