Today while I was at church I ran into another mother who was with 2 of her children, [name]Felicity[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name]… (both called by their full names) but a few minutes later the older brother who was with his friends, probably about 10 years old, came to say hi to “Flea” I thought it was adorable!
I have never heard it as an official nn for [name]Felicity[/name] but i have to say i adore it!
I guess it’s cute in a way that you call a kid “Bug” or something but once I think about it, I don’t like it. Fleas are icky little things on animals to me. It sounds like you’re calling a kid a pest.
I much prefer [name]Flick[/name], Flicka, Fliss, Lissy, etc.
Well I will never thought about that. It’s sounds totally different.
But it’s okay. Me, myself have a lot of nicknames and some of them are quite far with my real name. Sometimes my friends like to create his/her own nn choice for me. So nn is depends on the people.
From an older brother it’s cute; it would drive me crazy if my hubby called our daughter Flea! I do like the name [name]Felicity[/name] though and wish it had a better nickname. I wouldn’t mine using the full name but hubby loves to shorten names.
I love [name]Felicity[/name]! I had a friend of a friend who happened to be german and was named [name]Felicity[/name]. She went by [name]FAY[/name]-lee. The german pronunciation of the full name starts with the [name]FAY[/name]-lee sound whereas an american or british pronunciation does not, but I don’t think that matters all that much. Anyways, I always liked the nn.
