About Felicity
Felicity is as accessible a virtue name as Hope and Faith, but much more feminine -- and dare we say, happier. The hit TV show did a lot to soften and modernize the once buttoned-up image of Felicity, and it got further notice as the red-haired Colonial doll, Felicity Merriman, in the American Girl series. A current bearer is actress Felicity Huffman.
Two nicknames for Felicity: Flick and Fee. Other forms include Felicia and Felice.
Pronounced fuh-LIS-uh-tee.
As of October 2026, Felicity ranked #473 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #345 in 2017, Nameberry popularity #115.
