Re: Felicity and American Girl Dolls
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Felicity Jones is pretty famous.
It sounds a little more Puritan/colonial to me than Harmony or Serenity because of the doll, I guess, but also because it seems like an old-fashioned word (that I associate it with marriage because I can't remember hearing it outside of that context really)...
I first heard it for the doll, which is not true of the other doll names except Josefina (but that just reminded me of Jose and Josephine which I'd heard multiple times already). I heard Felicia a few years later and thought Felicity sounds better.
A) Yes
B) Yes
C) I don't really think of the doll anymore. It's fine, whatever. I think a lot of people would associate Felicia (and/or Harmony and Serenity and/or Felicity Jones), so it's not that odd looking.
