Vaguely thinking (or thats what im telling DH) about names for our planned, but not yet conceived, DC2. Have a very long short-list already!

What do you think of Felicity? Do you know many? What nicknames do they go by?

Old-fashioned but lovely.
DH has been begging for another DD as he saw this name with our surname recently and decided he wanted one. I offered him a cat instead

Fliss in a good NN.

I like it. I knew a Felicity growing up and she was known as Fliss.

I love it, it's on my shortlist if I have another girl. I knew one Felicity when I was younger and she went by 'Fliss' but it can also be shortened to 'Flic'.

really harsh. No obvious nick name. nice meaning though, btu that's not enough. I'd prefer Joy.

Verity is nicer imo, sort of in a similar style.

I love Felicity. Would use this if I had another DD in the future, but our surname begins with "F" and thats breaking MN naming rules

Too much like Fellatio for my stomach.
DS old teacher was a Felicity. Sorry, can't think of a single obvious NN, and I personally don't like names without good NNs.

I had a good friend called Felicity when I was younger, her nn was Flic. (pron Flick)

limonchik · 15/08/2009 10:44

I think Flic, Fliss and Lissy are the most common nicknames. I went to school with a Lissy who became Fliss as a teen.

wahwah1270 · 15/08/2009 12:32

my sis is calledFelicity, her nn is Flea.

pinkthechaffinch · 15/08/2009 13:04

I knew a Felicity whose nickname was Fizz.This was before the days of Fizz in Corrie and we all thought it was really cool

ZZZenAgain · 15/08/2009 13:11

Her nn is FLEA?!

I don't find Felicity at all harsh, all soft on my ear. For my taste actually it leans too far the other way tbh, just personally like stronger names for girls

Generally though, it's a nice name.

Amapoleon · 15/08/2009 13:19

I'm not so keen on felicity but I love flic and fliss.

duchesse · 15/08/2009 13:21

Our Felicity has various nicknames- Fleecy, Flea and Flick are the main ones.
