About ten years ago I love this name but I haven't really thought about it much since. Lately for unknown reasons I seem to be infatuated with it again. WDYT?

I adore it. I think it's gorgeous and classy. It also has a great meaning :-)

I like it a lot. I'd be more likely to use Felix on a boy though.

Felicity = Facility to me...(m)

I don't like it, it just sounds like a name for a spoiled, snotty girl to me.

Incidently, I went to college with a girl named Felicity and during Freshman orientation rollcall an RA missread her name as "Facility". So for the rest of the year we called her Facility. The best part was that she had actually skipped orientation, so she had no clue as to why everyone was calling her Facility.

I think Felicity is romantic. I like it.

I hate Felicity. I have terrible associations with it, and it just sounds unattractive to me. I prefer Felicia marginally, but I find the 'Fel' sound ugly. I prefer Verity which is kind of similar (as in its a virtue name and they have a similar sound)
