It's always been one of my faves, but do you think it sounds outdated?

Felicity, Felicity, you fill me with electricity.

Great poem from Bottom.

Please tell me your last name isn't Kendall.

Love it. Considered it for DD2. I think it's having a mini revival. Or at least it should be.

I like it, it would be on my list if it went with my surname.

MarthaFarquhar · 12/12/2009 17:34

love it.
love Orange Juice's "Felicity" too.

JaneiteMightBite · 12/12/2009 17:36

I needsomesleep, I think that poem is from the Young Ones book:

Felicity, Felicity
You fill me with electricity
How shocking
You are like the mint cake
Cool, fresh and nice to suck
I want to wander naked through your loveliness
Unashamed of the spots on my bottom

(BTW, I think Felicity is a lovely name)

JaneiteMightBite · 12/12/2009 17:46

Tis a song by The Wedding Present too.

MarthaFarquhar · 12/12/2009 17:53

nooo janeite! the original's loads better

I think it's a classically beautiful name and not out-dated at all. I love it and would have very warm positive thoughts about anyone I met called Felicity

Bleatblurt · 12/12/2009 17:55

I LOVE this name.

Southwestwhippet · 12/12/2009 17:57

My sister is called Felicity. She's 17 and she's never felt it was old fashioned or outdated.

Personally I love it, would have it for my baby if it wasn't my sister's name.

MaggieNollaig · 12/12/2009 18:02

I don't like it but I don't think it's dated. . I like the style of it though if that makes sense. I like Verity, Beatrice, Juliet and other names I cold imagine being the sister of a Felicity.

I like Felix for a boy though.

Ineedsomesleep · 12/12/2009 18:02

MamaLazarou I really shouldn't ever listen to DH, he's the one who told me the poem is from Bottom.

Every time he hears the name Felicity he comes out with the poem.

malung · 12/12/2009 19:19

Felicity is a great name.

JaneiteMightBite · 12/12/2009 21:12

Martha - I had no idea that The Weddo's one was a cover.

CantSleepWontSleep · 12/12/2009 22:21

Ds would almost certainly have ended up a Felicity if he'd been a dd instead.

It's still one of our top 2 contenders if dc3 is a girl.

Skegness · 12/12/2009 22:24

Lovely- no one I know in rl likes it, I suspect because they see it as posh, but I think it's a great name. Sounds very calm and serene, for some reason.

SugarMagrundy · 12/12/2009 22:34

I liked it so much, it's my confirmation name!
And I know a girl with that name - though we did all call her Flick instead .....

Tommy · 12/12/2009 22:41

I think it's lovely - suitable for all ages
