Opinions please. We are quite set on Felicity we think, middle name I feel needs to be single syllable?

My grandmothers were Pearl and Evelyn hence the suggestion of Pearl as I haven’t really heard it much. Eve/Evelyn seem much more common nowadays.

Evelyn I like as a middle name and I LOVE Evangeline!

Could you try Felicity Evelyn?

I love Felicity

Single syllable middle names have become a real cliche, so I’d actively avoid

I really like Felicity but I don't love Pearl as a name, which is illogical because I think pearls, as in jewellery, are beautiful.

I like the combination of Felicity Grace, but I don't think it has to be one-syllable middle name. You will rarely be saying both names together. I have a 3-syllable first name (which I sometimes shorten) and 4-syllable middle name and it hasn't really caused me any problems. I've known a Felicity Mary, which I think is rather nice, and I think Felicity Charlotte sounds good too.

Idk why but it reminds me of that white cat on the aristocats. It’s a little pretentious. Felicity is nice but I think Pearl is too much with it.

Pearl also makes me think of a fluffy white kitten!

I agree that it sounds a bit much together.

I really like Felicity but I think Pearl would need to be with something less interesting in itself - maybe Charlotte Pearl or Catherine Pearl or similar. Felicity Pearl has just a bit much going on. Maybe it’s the sort of happiness/joyful meaning of Felicity then throwing pearls into the mix gets a bit much!

But I love Felicity. It’s feminine without being too frilly, traditional without being overused. Just a really good name.

Lovely and distinctive without being weird.
