Felicia--WDYT?

I have been set on using this for our first girl, as it was my great-grandmother's name. She immigrated from Poland and died when I was about 7. I always thought it was beautiful. DH is on the fence.

But since I've posted it on my name list, it has gotten sucky reviews. I will plan on using regardless because I love it, but I was wondering your opinion and why?

fwiw, middle name would be Grace.

I think it is pretty and Grace sounds good with it too.  But it is not my style.

I think Felicia is a very pretty name and made all the more so, given your family connection to it.

It's not my style, but I can understand why you'd want to use it. If you and your DH like it, that's all that matters.

It's okay but I'm definitely not a big fan of the name.  Are you going to use it even if your DH isn't fully on board?

Oh goodness of course we would agree on a name! He is starting to like it a little more. I guess I just don't see why people don't like it, that's all

I like it okay. I'm in the South, and it was popular here in the early eighties along with other -icia/isha names like Alisha, Lakisha, and Laticia. I know it is of a different origin than those names, but I think maybe some people group it into a category with those names.

What about Felicity? It has the same root (the Latin root meaning happy) but might sound less dated.

I love Felicia! It's so beautiful and I've never understood why it's not more popular. It was on our list too.?

NMS, but if it is yours then who cares. I love why you are using it and it has special meaning to you...that is all that matters.

I LOVE Felecia.  I don't group it with the Lakeisha/Keisha's of the 80's, those are a completely different group of names.  There's a Felecia in my office and she is so smart and stylish.  I have a good opinion of this name.

I like it. It's pretty.

I like it, especially since my mn is Felice. Slightly biased I guess. I like Felice and Felicity a little better.

It reminds me of General Hospital, but I do like it.

I don't love it but I think it's pretty... I think once it belonged to a little girl I knew, I'd really like it.

Its nms but if you both love it and it also has family ties, use it.

Also her name can be a great story for her!
