I think it's light and airy. Uncommon. I would like to meet one.

It's nice, I'd use it if it met some other of my naming criteria. But I prefer Felicia.

I used to love it then thought it seemed saccharine. But if I met someone named Felicity, I'd probably love it! Especially nn Flick ... I think it's spunky.

Love it. It's a sweet old fashioned name.

I love it. Wish people wouldn't shorten it to Flick though

Lovely nice meaning, beyond doubt.
What I like less, is the form of the name, this CITY-look, I wouldn't want to have.
Prefer Felicitas, actually quite good as well are Felicita & Felicia.

I like it a lot. And it's totally usable, and shortens pleasantly to Lissy (except one that I used to know who called herself Felix) or not at all.I taught a Felicity once whose parents had different African home languages. Felicity had two middle names, both meaning Felicity but one in Zulu and the other in Sotho - can't remember what they were now, but it seemed like overkill.

I don't like it. (sorry) I think it's a so-precious old reference to heaven - kind of like Bliss; and it gives me a feeling of complacency and smugness. It also bothers me that it reminds me of the words illicitly, fellatio, flaccidity, and duplicity. I don't like the sound of the four rapid-fire slick syllables. I prefer Felicia, which seems more based on Felix and seems like it just means happiness, rather than making me think "self-satisfied contentment."

My sister is Felicia, but I still prefer Felicity. IMO - Felicity still has some brightness compared to the banal feel, and retro-urban vibe, of Felicia. Also, the whole "Bye Felicia" thing has really ruined the name. It's very annoying.

Yeah, IMO too bad it wasn't Bye Felicity.

I used to not care\like it but now I don't mind it.I definitely associate the name to either a horse or a horse lover. A Felicity to me would be obsessed with horses and would have a job taking care of them, cleaning out the stables, doing barrel races and what not.My association of that is very strong
