DD is named Ce.cily Pa.tricia (last name is one syllable, very common), and I'm 16 weeks pregnant with #2, which I think is a girl (we find out in 3 weeks, so I'm probably jumping the gun, but I'm curious what people think.
Current frontrunner girl name is Felicity Eugenia, are the two names together too much? Is Felicity too similar-sounding to Cecily or do they sound ok together? The middle name is solid, it's MH's late mother's birth name. DD's middle is also a family name.
So far the only other one we're considering is Rosalind, but I'm iffy on the pronounciation issues (Rose-alind vs Roz-alind).
I like feminine names that lean towards more old-fashioned, and prefer less popular ones (but not "creative" ones) since our last name is super common. No K, C or J.

Rosalind is a favorite of mine so i'm biased there and would pick that but Felicity is nice as well. I do think Felicity and Cecily together are a bit of a mouthful but I do not think that's a reason not to use it.

I'd pick Felicity over Rosalind. I don't think it's too much with a sister named Cecily.
Other suggestions:
Phillipa
Evelyn
Marian
Frances

I like Felicity but it’s really matchy with Cecily.
Rosalind is rozz-uh-line. I guess you can change the pronunciation to rose-uh-line but I think you’re going to get a loooot of the rozz- pronunciation.
What about Rosalie?

I don't think Cecily and and Felicity are too much, though I think I prefer Rosalind -pronounced Rozz-a-lind.
And I still like Allegra for you.

I love Rosalie, but I feel like the matchy is even worse because they completely rhyme! Plus, MH vetoed it last time around for some reason. |
