I quite enjoy it, sound/feel/meaning. :)

I've always really liked it, ever since I was a kid and heard it on the American Girl character. I think it's lovely.

Felicity...Was the best American Girl character. When everyone else was all, "I love Samantha." I was like, "No, the Revolutionary period was way cooler and she rides a horse."Just my bias, though. ;)

Oh gosh I love Felicity. I've always been found of it, but having a super adorable now-7-month-old niece by this name makes it even better in my book. I call her "Flick" (though I'm the only one who calls her this).

I have always thought Felicity was quite pretty actually. It certainly isn't popular for little girls these days either, which is nice.

Like/love it. It's much better than Felicia (which is my second MN).

I like it. It is classic, sweet, not-overused. Since it hasn't been overused, I don't think of it as dated.

One of my favorite novels, which I first read when I was thirteen, has a character named Felicity, who is described as physically unattractive. One of the other characters describes her as "looking like the back end of a tram." This has affected my perception of the name. It always makes me think of someone big and clunky.

I hate it. It's so precious it's like a mouthful of Splenda. Besides it sounds like fellatio and electricity, and is a twee old fashioned religious reference to Heaven. Knowing a nice young girl named Felicity has not mitigated my loathing for this name at all. I thought it would. I used to like the name when I was a little girl and I wanted to name a cat it.

I like it. I think it's a fun, sunshiney name. It lightens up a lot of "heavier" names when used in combos with them.

I don't like the 'Road to Avonlea' association. She was not a very nice person at all on that show. But aside from that, the name itself is okay. And Felicity certainly fits with Amalia. The other sister in the show was Cecily, which I think also would work well with Amalia.

I LOVE the Road to Avonlea association. I liked her spunk :) and that she chose Gus :)
