Would you do [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Rune[/name_u]? I often see name combo with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] using word names in middles, isn’t [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] a [name_f]English[/name_f] word? (I’m not [name_f]English[/name_f] speaker, so my confusion is deep)

Yes, felicity means happiness. It’s gone out of usage, a bit like the word gay, but the word felicity is often used in [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] novels (written in 1800’s), for example. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is not used as a word in everyday speech now and I think most people would forget that it is a word name at all. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I’m used to [name_u]Austen[/name_u]’s “it was her greatest felicity to ride out with [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]” (invented quote) when I hear the name [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] it is very much a feminine name, and pairing it with another word name feels fine.
I like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] with [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_u]Rune[/name_u], [name_u]Beau[/name_u] etc!

Felicity is an [name_f]English[/name_f] word, but I’ve never actually heard it used in person, except as a name. So I definitely think a word middle name with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is totally fine. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Rune[/name_u] is really nice!

I think it works fine with word names since it’s not a commonly used word in today’s world.
I like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] with an equally feminine and upbeat middle
So names like
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
The vast majority of [name_f]English[/name_f] speakers today don’t even know felicity is a word; they only associate it with a name. Those that do, can easily distinguish when the word is used or the name (like [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] etc). Therefore, it’s fine to use it with a word name.
Felicity is an [name_f]English[/name_f] word but it’s not in every day usage and since [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is such a familiar name, I don’t think [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is unusable
I think [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is pretty! Otherwise I would use [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u] 
I’ve never heard [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] used in everyday speech before, I think it sounds lovely with [name_f]Grace[/name_f].
I think it works with word middles as long as they’re not words like “[name_f]Joy[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Merry[/name_f]”. Names/words with similar meanings.
I like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] would be pretty too.
I’ll be honest I’m a native [name_f]English[/name_f] speaker and did not know it was a word! I’ve never heard anybody use it in daily life, so it just feels like a name to me. I really like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]!
Absolutely fine! I don’t think of [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] as a word name – a virtue name maybe, but mainly just an underused classic. I’m especially taken with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Rune[/name_u] 
Same here. I think [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] works fine.
technically [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is a word, but no one uses it, at least in the US. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is sweet.
