Not expecting, of course. [name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering. Lately, I’ve been a bit torn between these two and I want to know which you prefer and why. TIA!

They are quite different, but they have a similar bright, bubbly vibe that I love.
I like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] but [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] has my heart . I have a little friend named [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] who I’ve known since she was baby and I adore the name because of her.
I love both, so this was hard. I chose [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] because it’s pretty and versatile for nicknames. It’s still in consideration for my soon to be born girl, too!
Beatrix because it’s spunky and has nicknames [name_f]Bea[/name_f], BB, and [name_f]Trixie[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] too but it’s preppier and doesn’t have as many nickname options.
I love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] due to the meaning of happiness that I just adore! I can never really get into liking [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] mainly due to the fact that I discovered [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] first! And those are so similar to me I feel you prefer one and don’t like the other I love the nn [name_f]Trixie[/name_f] however it’s adorable!
Beatrix by a mile. It’s just so spunky and energetic and I love the [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] association. Plus [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is such an awesome nickname. I’ve never been able to get on board the [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] train. I just find it way too frilly.
It was very hard to pick - both are fantastic names with such lovely vibes. In the end I went with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - I think it slightly more spunky and characterful than [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], which seems slightly more dainty.
Wow this is so hard to choose. I really love both of these names (and just want to throw out there that they’d be great sister names.)
In terms of personal use, where both are concerned, I would only use them as middle names. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] because I think it sounds a little too similar to my name, [name_f]Brittany[/name_f], and because I’d rather not share first initials. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] because it’s a variation of my mother’s name, [name_f]Felicia[/name_f], so using it would be an honor and a close enough one that I’d only feel comfortable with it in the middle.
I guess between the two, I’d be more likely to use [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], partly just for stylistic reasons but also because I tend to lean toward more loose/hard to distinguish honor names than ones that are more directly linked the way [name_f]Felicia[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] are. Which I guess technically makes [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] my favorite.
I can’t vote between these two, they’re both just so lovely! I think I prefer the nicknames for [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] though, [name_f]Bea[/name_f]/Trixie and I actually think they’d pair nicely together - [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is a gorgeous combo!
Love both! Ended up voting for [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] because it has a nicer flow than [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], which I find just a tiny bit clunky. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] would have won out over [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], though.
