[Opinions] Felicity
I've always vaguely liked Felicity but I wonder why I've never given it more thought! It's underused and has such a snazzy sound. Wdyt?

I think of the now-defunct WB show and also the "American Girl" doll/character, but neither has ruined the name for my by any means. It's a little on the long and frilly side for me, but I still think it's underused and lovely. :)

I like it a lot, but never the nn Fliss. It's very pretty but not cutesy, I could imagine it on an adult just as easily as on a child.

I like it a lot, it's very sweet, and you're right, it does sound snazzy. It dips in and out of my favourites list.

You probably pass over it because it sounds more like a name for a cat - the concept of 'felicity' is archaic and twee - and because it reminds of the words fellatio, illicit, and fallacious. (I dislike the name a lot, as you can tell)

'American Girl' ruined this name for me permanently. :-(:(

I think its sweet, and...I love the meaning. I really like the idea of Mia Felicity ("my happiness"- BtN doesn't have this meaning for Mia, so maybe I'm wrong?) but I think I would prefer Felicity w/ something else.
I think this was one of my parents' possible names for me when I was born.

Felicity is pretty and very feminine sounding in my opinion, and the meaning is wonderful. I prefer Felicia though.

I absolutely love Felicity, it would definitely be in my top 5 girls' names.

Felicity is a darling name and the 'c' gives it such a soft, wispy sound. One of my favorite Felicity combos is Felicity Lilac.

I hate it. It is definitely one of the names I hate the most. It has such a snarky sound, is so yuppie and every Felicity I have ever known has been a bitch. I think the only vague thing going for it is the meaning.
