HelpFélice
Do you like Félice for a girl?
The pronounciation is roughly fay-LEES even though the first syllable sounds more like a long EH, hard to explain.

Yes, I like it. I pronounce it FE-lis (the end like in Alice).

Hi Perrine !!!
I love French names!
Unfortunately Felic- names are really dated here. We have Felicia (fe-LEE-cha), Felicita (fe-LEE-chee-ta), Feliciana (fe-lee-CHA-na), Felisia (fe-LEE-see-a) and once I heard a Felicetta (fe-lee-CHET-ta). But all have a granny vibe (in Southern Italy are a bit more common though).
This is why I'm not wild enough to judge Félice as the whole sound seems vintage to my ears.
But I really like it!
Infact it is very similar to Felie, my NN here, that I pronounce like It were Félie.
Félice is better than Felicity imo: the -ity suffix makes It cold, impersonal and too wordy. Félice instead has a soft, traditional sound.
I rate Félice 7/10
