Which would you choose between Felicia and Patricia?
In my case, I would choose Patricia. But I also like Felicia. However, the image of the name Patricia is quite distorted in my head, so if I were to base it on the perception of actual English-speaking locals, I would choose Felicia.

Felicia hands down. I can't stand Patricia.
Felicia said as "fuh-liss-ee-uh" is better than "fu-lee-shuh" by a large margin, but they are both better than Patricia.
I think Felicia is pretty underrated these days.
I recently started to like Felicia as a mn, I think it’s elegant, however I would probably use Patricia but really only because I love the nn Patsy, Patty & even Pat.
Hm, this is a hard toss up for me, lol. I admire both names; I especially enjoy Felicia pronounced as "Feh-lee-see-uh" (though, I also love the English pronunciation). In this case, if I were to choose one, I'd probably go with Patricia.
It was quite difficult for me too. I like names that ending with cia. And I tend to pronounce Felicia as Feh-lee-see-ah. And why did you choose Patricia?
I chose Patricia because I've always loved the name; it sounds elegant (I pronounce it as "Puh-trih-shuh") to my ears, I enjoy its appearance, and like that it's a feminization of Patrick (a name I really enjoy).
Thank you.
Felicia hands down. Patricia feels homely and dated to me.
Felicia. Patricia is deeply unattractive to me.
I far prefer Felicity to Felicia, so I'd always choose Patricia. But, I wouldn't be at all likely to use Patricia IRL; there have been too many Pat, Patty, Trish and Tish people in my life, most of them very nice, and I can't face any more,
I prefer Patricia.In English speaking countries, there is a slang phrase "Bye Felicia". It means to dismiss someone. Unfortunately, every time I hear the name, I automatically think of this phrase.
Patricia.
Felicia is a good name too. I think I just like the trish sound more than the leesh sound.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
