    From one Fontaine to another.....
    
    Felicia Freda Fontaine is a mouthful of F's.
    
    Here's why I feel that way; my first name is nancy and my maiden name was
    norton.  That's alot of n's in my opinion, having gone thru TOO many
    n's, I don't think I'd wish too many of any one letter on any child.
    
    Maybe if you drop one of the F names and substitute it with another
    name?  That way you can keep either Felicia or Freda.  Which means the
    most to you? 
    
    
    I like the boys names.
    
    Good luck,
    
    Nancy

    I like the boys names too, but.... too many F's in the girl's name.
    Maybe you could use Alicia instead of Felicia or something like
    that. Its just my opinion and if you like it and your spouse likes
    it and your heart is set on it, go for it. Good luck.

    How about Frieda Donna Fontaine?  Or use a female version of your
    husband's name for a middle name?
    
    Of course, the aforementioned Alicia instead of Felicia is a good
    idea, too.
    
    I like the 2nd boy's name, better than the first (although that
    one is nice, too; I'm just talking preference)

    Think about it.  How many times you do say all three names together?
    Felicia Fontaine sounds very pretty..  And if Freda is wanted to 
    carry on your maiden name then use it.  
    
    Good Luck....  Anna
    

    Thank you everyone.  I agree it is alot of F's, but I agree more
    with Anna.  You never use the middle name and I think Felicia Fontaine
    sounds good together.  I would not use Freida as the first name
    as a previous noter suggested because I really don't like that for
    a first name.  I'm just sticking it in there to sort of carry on
    my maiden name.  As far as the boys names go; Thomas John was the
    name we had picked out if our last child was a boy, however, our
    last child was a girl and therefore, was named Danielle Marie. 
    My husband still likes Thomas John.  My fathers name is John Thomas
    and both names are also prominent in my husbands family.  I like
    Jordan though.  And I chose Matthew for the middle name because
    that's my husbands name.  My sons name is Nathan Raymond.  I need
    names that "go well" with Nathan and Danielle.  I think Felicia
    and Jordan would fit right in.  Do you know what I mean by "fit
    in" or am I cracking up?  To me, some names just sort of go together.
     For instance, you wouldn't name one child Demitrius and another
    Joe.  Get it?  Well now that I've rambled on and on, these names
    will probably change before this baby is born.  I just wanted some
    feedback.  I'll keep everyone posted as the name game continues.
    
    Thank you all again.

    re: .4 & .5
    
    I agree too.  I never introduce myself to anyone and use my middle
    name.  In fact, most forms only ask for a middle initial.  I gave
    my daughter a middle name that's kind of a mouthful with the rest
    of her name, but there's sentiment behind it.  Although it gave
    her kind of funky intials (ATM - like automated teller) I still
    like it.  (Hey, Cliff would probably scold me if he was still around
    in this file :-))  So I guess what I'm trying to say is that if
    you like Freda as a middle name, then use it.  Good luck.

    I agree also.  Felicia is a very pretty name and sounds beautiful with 
    Fontaine!  Freda is special to you and I think you should go for it!
    
    Also, "when and if Felicia decides to get married - she may want to use
    "her" maiden name as her middle name.  i.e. Felicia Fontaine Perrelli 
    or whatever her married name will be.  Do you know what I mean?  The
    middle name you choose for her now will have a meaning to you and that's 
    what is important.  
    
    Felicia is sooo much prettier than Alicia !
    
    Best of luck!
    

    "Felicia is soooo much prettier than Alicia"
    
    THAT is a matter of opinion;  I prefer the name Alicia over Felicia.
