Felicity?

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I love the name Felicity. I love the old-fashioned quality of it. I love that it means happy. I've overcome a lot of depression and anxiety in my life and I feel like that makes it a very good name choice for a daughter I might have. My maiden name is the German "Froehlich" which means "merry," so I thought it would be a good way to incorporate my family name without actually naming a child "Froehlich."

My questions are:

1. Would you automatically think of the TV show?

2. Is it getting too popular?

3. What are good nicknames for this name? So far I've come up with: Flicka, Flossie, Flix, Lissa and Lissy but I'm wondering if you creative people can come up with any more? Lisa? My husband thinks "Fitty" as in "Fitty-Cent" would be awesome but I'm not so convinced.

ETA: 4. Would my daughter get called "Fellatio?"

1. Maybe I'm too young, but no TV shows come to mind

2. I don't think it's too popular. I kind of like it, not common. I don't know any girls named Felicity. I also like the idea of using it to incorporate your family name.

3. My nickname used to be Flossy! Absolutely unrelated to my own name...but there you go.
I thought of Felix as a nickname, but that might be too masculine. I think it's cute.

4. I also didn't think of this when I saw the name so IMO, no.
