Thanks to those of you who replied to my first post!
I think we have narrowed down our choice to 2 names now: [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f].
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] was our early frontrunner (for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_m]Baker[/name_m]!). Dad really wants to be able to call her [name_u]JoJo[/name_u], and I find that adorable. Some members of my extended family hate this choice, but not sure how much I care about that. We can’t think of a really good middle name that flows with [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (we’ve been defaulting to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] which is an overused family middle). We are both lukewarm on any middle names with it. Ideally it’s something shorter that flows well (he rejected the last suggestion I liked from NB, which was [name_f]Claire[/name_f]!).
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]: We would probably pair it with [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and I love the way “[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]” sounds. Also love the meaning and have for a long time. It’s spell-able, still relatively uncommon, and conveys what I want for her in life (happiness!). But we don’t really like ANY nickname for [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and it would give her the initials FRT.
My dilemma: she certainly FEELS like a [name_u]JoJo[/name_u] in there with all the dancing she’s doing, but for a full name I like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] slightly better. I like the nickname of one and the full name of the other! I know the obvious choice is to name her [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u]?) or vice versa, but we are not crazy about the names together.
So which do you like – [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], and why?
