Felicity as that’s the name Mr and I have agreed on for a girl if we have one. I like Verity a lot too though.

Felicity, not really sure why though. I want to like Verity more, because it’s a sweet little name, but I just can’t warm to it like I can other names.

Mm Verity. I think it's a bit nameier. It's sharp and appealing.Felicity is nice in theory and I Love the virtue, but it just doesn't settle down into nameiness very well for me. Though I have a soft spot for it because of the American Girl Doll. I'd like to meet one.

Felicity. It's more timeless and gives off more pleasant vibes (friendlier). Verity has a great meaning too but it's not as approachable or timeless imo.

I don’t like either, but I guess Felicity. Since my husband said Verity sounds like “ferrety” that’s all I can hear!

100% Verity. It's fun and sweet. Felicity doesn't appeal as much to me.

Felicity is one of my very favorite names. Meanwhile - though I know what "verity" is - Verity reminds me too much of "severity" to think of it as a name.

This is tough because I really don't like either. Verity, I guess. Felicity is too ornate for me.

I like them both. I couldn't use Felicity - too close in meaning to Beatrice, assuming one rejects the Viatrix etymology - and Verity is much nicer than Vera: better rhythm, better sounds. And the meaning is good.

I like Felicity because it seems very happy and full of life.

I like both but Verity’s Puritan vibe pleases me.

I like both, but I prefer Verity. You can get Vera as a nickname, it's uncommon, fresh, lovely and it begins with a rare letter.On the other hand, Felicity is... okay, but strikes me as a little old-fashioned, even though it was quite popular in the early 90's.
