Is this too cutesy?

iuplori · March 2012

We are having the hardest time coming up with a girl name that we both agree on. DD is named Grace, which we both loved from the beginning, but we were having a heck of a time finding another girl name for this one (if she is, in fact, a she--we're team green. If its a boy, he'll be named Luke.)

I have to say, I know I'm very particular about the sound of names...for a girl I do not want any two syllable names and it can't end in an "a" sound b/c our last name begins with A and I don't like how it rushes together. Yeah, that just eliminated like 90% of the girl names...

Anyway, we decided a few days ago that we both like the name Felicity, but it just dawned on me that it's another noun-trait type of name (like Hope, Joy, Faith, etc.) and now I'm wondering if it's just going to sound too cutesy to have sisers named Grace and Felicity...WDYT?

I don't think it sounds too cutesy. I like Felicity.

I think they go really well together!

I think if you were doing Faith & Grace... then yes. But Felicity does not scream trait-type name to me.

Thanks for the feedback...I think I didn't really think about it being a trait name until I was looking up meanings and such...

I just saw another post below about the name Felicity...kind of funny to see it twice so close together.

I'm with this too. They're fine together.

Yes, it's cutesy...but I don't hate it

I love both names and don't think it sounds cutesy.

I don't think it's too cutesy. Makes a good sibset!

iuplori · March 2012

Thanks, everyone! I feel reassured, and DH will be glad I didn't come back with a reason why THIS name wouldn't work like I have with every other name we've come up with! Wink

I was thinking earlier that I like Felicity (although I do sort of think of that old TV show.) I think it's nice how they sort of go together but not too much-at least they're not both 1 syllable like Grace and Hope or Faith or something.... I vote yes:)
