felicity , cecily or arabella help urgently needed naming number 8

[ecstaticmumofeightplusfour]

help dd4 dc8 now 3 weeks old cant decide on name have registered her as felicity -cecily arabella as half the family preferred cecily and half preffered felicity really not sure if felicity is the right name but dont want tochange it too something not on her birth cert too complicated if we did this
her siblings are bethany blake lydia tudor leighton tabitha and gabriel so should we stick with felicity or start calling her cecily or arabella opinions pleas

What do the siblings think?

the problem is half the sibling and dh prefer felicity i and other siblings prefer cecily that has caused the dilema as thos who like felicity think cecily is weird and vice versa

if she really is the 8th you are missing a heaven-sent opportunity to call her Octavia

dh said no to octavia as its a skoda car and he would not be swayed on that

Ha, I knew this would be you, mumof8+4!! Hope you are doing well .

FWIW, I really like Felicity, sorry, and prefer it to Cecily. But then I also really like Felix (was vetoed by DH for DS4...).

How on earth are you going to resolve this? Will you allow MN votes to make the decision?
Good luck !

Well if you registered her as Felicity I'd stick with that. I love both names so that's the only reason I'd say Felicity. But do you mean you double barrelled her first name as Felicity-Cecily? Cos that's a mouthful and a half!

I wouldn't go for Arabella personally because if you read the list out it doesn't fit.

I love the name Tabitha BTW.

no not double barelled just callng her felicity at the moment but im still hankering after cecily even though the majorityof people who have expressed an opinion seem to prefer felicity i think it sounds very twee
agrre about arabella that it just doesnt quite fit
think i just need to get my head around felicity

Isn't Felicia a Skoda car too?

It's a sign.

Call her Skodette .

i prefer felicity and think it goes with your other dc names better

LOVE Felicity. And I prefer its meaning to that of Cecily (happiness vs blindness if I recall correctly).

If I had to pick one of them, I'd go for Felicity after the Orange Juice song

Arabella has a lot of style. Felicity and Cecily are a bit twee. Could everyone agree on Arabella?

Congratulations, hope everything is going well.

Would go for Octavia despite Skodas. It's a fabulous name.

I think Felicity. It just "sounds" better with the other siblings names. Hope you are getting on well with 8!!

Cecily.

Congratulations on the birth.

I prefer Felicity to Cecily (reminds me of Cecil, overweight accountant name, sorry to any Cecils out there)

Arabella is pretty, but does not go so well with your other DC's names.

Do you shorten the other DC's names?

I prefer Cecily, Arabella reeeeaaaallly doesn't go and I'm not keen on Felicity.

I love Cecily.

I think if she´s already Felicity stick with it.
I do like Cecily also but it seems to be very popular now.
Felicity is imo a lovely & very underused name.

felicity or arabella .cecily a bit twee imho and nns could be a problem

Arabella - I love it

Love Cecily but I think you should fight for Octavia!

Octavia for number eight.
