second guessing baby's name looking for opinions

m expecting my second baby girl on July 17th my first daughter's name is Cora. The name we are thinking of using for my second daughter is Felicity but for some reason ive been second guessing whether i really like the way they sound together and how long Felicity is compared to Cora. So one of the names that me and my husband crossed off our list even though we both love the name is Thea we thought it was too matchy and rhymy as a sibset or they dont really fit together. This is most likely our last child so its hard to find the perfect name for me i guess there is so many great names. So my question i guess is which name do you like better with Cora are they really issues or am i just being a crazy over thinking hormonal pregnant lady. Thanks for all opinions and help. Sorry for the long post.

Hi there!  Your daughter is a beautiful girl regardless of what you name her. So relax!  That being said,  I definitely had quite the go arounds with hubby over names.  Before the gender ultrasound we had a girl name middle name and everything set.  We founs out we were having a boy and he wanted to name the baby the same name as his brother.   Which we both liked but I thought the baby should maybe have his own name.  We are now on Gregory and  I.got a few things engraved to solidify.   Lol.  I wanted a nice name that would go with our last name well.... but I also said it a bunch of times with my husband's name, the middle name.  Maybe that would help you decide.  Say all the names and middle names you are thinking of out loud and together.   It is nice to be unique but as a substitute teacher for many years, too unique can be tricky and cause extra unnecessary embarrassment.  Again, because I have been on so many interviews,  I literally also thought about what the name would look and sound like on a resume.  I like both names that you chose.  I can't help but think of the American Girl Book Series characters. ... one is Felicity!   I also think of that awesome show from the 90s.   I also like the other name and auto correct won't let me type it.   Lol.  Good luck to you!  :)

Felicity is more trendy, like, Felicity Huffman.  Felice is less often seen nowadays, which means it will sound better as she grows up, because it's not heard everywhere you go.

I say you're over thinking how they sound together. Go with whatever name you like more and don't worry about being matchy...they will be individuals ☺

Felicity could be done in the French version, which is Felice.  It sounds quite pretty with Cora, without being matchy-matchy.
