I actually didn't care much for this name but it is growing on me a bit. When I was little there were these American Girls Dolls and one of them was called Felicity and most remember the T.V series Felicity starring Keri Russel. I think it would fit nice in a Historical Fiction novel as its a virtue name and used by the puritans. It would also fit in modern times. It's a nice name but I am still not sure if I really like it all that much.
