I can’t choose. I personally like [name]Felicity[/name] more(it’s more my style), but [name]Harriet[/name] seems to fit better with your other girls’ names. They are both lovely names but have completely different “feels” to me. [name]Felicity[/name] is light and cheery, like a bubbling brook, while [name]Harriet[/name] has a warm, earthy, and organic feeling.

As for NN’s, [name]Hattie[/name] is adorable for [name]Harriet[/name]. I am not crazy about either Fliss of [name]Flick[/name] for [name]Felicity[/name], though. Personally, I’d prefer [name]Lissie[/name] or Flicka (which btw, means ‘girl’ in Swedish, I believe). But, since your other children go by one syllable nn’s, I’d probably go with Fliss.

So, of the names on your list, I’d vote for either:

[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Moss[/name] (Fliss)
or
[name]Harriet[/name] [name]Emma[/name] [name]Moss[/name] ([name]Hattie[/name])

[name]Hope[/name] that helps!

P.S. [name]Frederick[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] sounds great!

[name]Felicity[/name] is pretty, but I really prefer [name]Harriet[/name]. I love that name and haven’t ever met a [name]Harriet[/name]. The nickname [name]Hattie[/name] is adorable. Also, I think [name]Harriet[/name] and [name]Frederick[/name] is preferable since the twins’ names wouldn’t start with the same letter.

[name]Felicity[/name]. It sounds so much more open and fun than [name]Harriet[/name]. I think it’s the hard consonant ending.

5

I love the name [name]Felicity[/name]. It’s just so happy and sweet but substantial enough that I have no problem seeing it on an adult. My favorite nickname for [name]Felicity[/name] is Lissy.

I’m not crazy about the name [name]Harriet[/name] but I do love the nickname [name]Hattie[/name]. I like it best a nickname for [name]Henrietta[/name] though.

[name]LoVe[/name] felicity with the nn liss or lissy!!

I voted for [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Moss[/name] (because with [name]Emma[/name] you get the initials FEM, which is fine, but not ideal I guess, so it helped me choose [name]Hannah[/name] :wink: ) and I voted for Bit, [name]Jem[/name] and Fliss! I love them :slight_smile:

Hands down [name]Harriet[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] nn [name]Hattie[/name]!

I have [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] nn [name]Hattie[/name] on my own list (along with [name]Frederick[/name]!) so I love your taste in names :slight_smile:

I feel there is something too fussy about [name]Felicity[/name] next to your other girls. [name]Harriet[/name] is a better match [name]IMO[/name]… And daisy lightens her right up!
