Thoughts? My husband suggested it and its growing on me
My friend mentioned this thing called "Bye Felicia" but truthfully I didnt know what that was and had to look it up. Do you think about it when you hear the name?
Does it go well with Drake & Juliet?
Middle name would be Karlina (after my dad)
Love, hate. whatever?

Never heard of "bye Felicia." Only thing I think of is Felicia Day, and I like her.

I think of "bye Felicia" but I'm sure it's just a trend...people won't remember it 20 years from now

@Torchwood: I think of her too because Dh's bff at work loves her lol

I almost dont want to say it but it makes me think of a sex act......
What about Alicia or Felicity

Honestly, my first thought was, "Bye, Felicia." It may not be a lasting trend, although it is from a movie that came out 20 years ago... I couldn't use it because that association sticks in my mind. But it's a nice name if that's not something you think of! And Felicia Day is awesome.

@Chillybear: What sex act??? Im so lost. This name is starting to become weirder and weirder for me now
My husband doesnt like Felicity, he thinks of that Kerri Russel show for some reason. I asked about it and Fiona.
Im not crazy about Alicia.

It makes me think of the crazy, uptight lady from The Witches of Eastwick. The one that pukes up all the cherries. Random reference, but it does.
And yeah.... fellatio. Im really not a fan.

@Mrs. Chocolate: Yeah, one of our good friends is totally in love with her or I'm not sure I would even really be aware of her!
FWIW, even with people saying it, it doesn't make me think of Fellatio at all. Though maybe it's a pronunciation thing? If I say it with all 4 syllables I can kind of see it, but the pronunciation I'm used to (Fe-leesh-a, sort of) doesn't sound like it at all to me. I do love Fiona though! That's still on our maybe list!

I love Felicia, it feels like a very versatile name, but I'm not sure about something a first and middle name that end both in -a. Maybe Karlene/Karline?

Makes me think of "bye, felicia!"
I am not a big fan. It kind of sounds like the name of someone who was born in the late 80s or early 90s.

i think of 'bye, felicia!', but that might not last. fellatio didn't even cross my mind. i love fiona, but not sure that would work with the middle name. what about evelyn karlina? that sounds nice with your other kiddos' names

@Chillybear: LOL! OMG I'm dying.
Not a fan. My first thought was "bye, Felicia" as well. Love Felicity, though!

I've never heard of Bye Felicia? I like the name but I'm not crazy about it combined with Karlina as a middle - lots of ee and a sounds going on.

I've never heard of Bye, Felicia but I'm not a huge fan of the name. I looooove Felicity though!

@keepcalmcarrie: @Charm54:
From urbandictionary:
When someone says that they're leaving and you could really give two shits less that they are. Their name then becomes "felicia", a random bitch that nobody is sad to see go. They're real name becomes irrelevant because nobody cares what it really is. Instead, they now are "felicia".

@hotchildinthecity: haha oh gotcha. Kind of like Karen in Dane Cook's sketch "the friend that no one likes"

@Charm54: @hotchildinthecity: "Bye, Felicia" is from the movie Friday

I thought of "bye Felicia!" too. If you guys love it, the baby's peers won't have heard of it. It's made a comeback with memes but in ten years we will have moved on.
IMO- it sounds a bit more dated than your other LO.
I like Alicia but pronounced a-lish-a. Throwing random names out:
Willow
Greer
Calista
Maelin/malin/Maelyn
Bianca
Felicity seems like a good middle ground- too bad about DH!
blogger / nectarine / 2600 posts
@LibbyLou: I love Bianca Adore it DH hates it Hates it with a capital HATE I dont know why Because he has no taste I guess 
I like Calista Maybe Ill ask about that though Im sure he will say Flockhart because he stinks

I like Felicia, but I agree that an a ending doesn't work with Karlina. If you do choose an A ending, I might consider altering to Karline as suggested above.

@Mrs. Chocolate: funny I thought flockhart when I wrote Calista but didn't want to plant the seed.
Juliet and Bianca are both Shakespeare names, maybe you'll both like
Beatrice
Cordelia
Emilia
Iris
Imogen
Phoebe (bet he says Friends)

@Mrs. Chocolate: your husband is much too aware of female tv character names, haha! It's messing with all the names
Purely preference, but I like Felicity better with Drake and Juliet. Calista is super cute too.
Have y'all considered Josslyn/Jocelyn? I think it works well with Juliet and flows with Karlina (which I like quite a bit as an ode to your dad).

@AggieDaze: I know! He doesnt like Fiona because it was a character in a show...we liked that show...we liked that character what gives? He is slowly coming around to that one more than Felicity though
I like Jocelyn but I grew up with someone with that name and we didnt end on good terms and we might run into each other still. Seems a bit far fetched but I just feel weird about
pomelo / 5607 posts
@Mrs. Chocolate: Callista would be my first choice if it weren't for Flockhart. It's a character in some Star Wars books and I loved it in that context.

@Mrs. Chocolate: perfectly valid reason! Elodie is another one that comes to mind - I like that it feels slightly French like Juliet. I'm a fan of Fiona too. I bet you can wear DH down!
blogger / nectarine / 2600 posts
@Torchwood: My husband just told me Calista makes him think of a colostomy bag??? 
Like what is wrong with him??? Calista means beauty I think too.
@AggieDaze: Oh Elodie. I might try that one on him later. I think I can wear him down on Fiona more than any other name so far. He still maintains he likes Felicia best so far.
@T.H.O.U.: We both like Amelia but its too popular sadly for our taste. Annabelle is pretty. Maybe Ill ask him about that one too

I like it. And I think it works with Drake and Juliet. No bad connotations at all!

@Mrs. Chocolate: What about Felicity? And not just because it is my username.
Eta: never mind, just saw it's already been recommended.

@Mrs. Chocolate: Ha ha, colostomy bag made me LOL. For me, I'm not crazy about the 2 names ending in "a" with Felicia. The "bye Felicia" thing is a fad that will come and go, so I wouldn't worry about that if you really love the name.
