Celia

[LuciaRose]

I'm really starting to like this name - more than Cecilia and Cecily (which are lovely too). Do you hear of many Celias? What does associations does it have? And what do you think of these middle name ideas?

Celia Clementine
Celia Charlotte
Celia Mary
Celia Lucinda

[LynetteScavo]

Celia is a nice name....there was a lovely little girl called Celia in the park when I was PG with DD, and I suggested it to DH. He said a definite NO, as his parents had a horrible friend called Celia apparently.

Celia Clementine is really lovely.

[zenoushka]

I like Celia and prefer it to Cecilia and Cecily too. I really like Celia Clementine and Celia Mary.

[mamsnet]

It's enjoying quite a revival here in Spain. I like it.

[RnB]

Love it. But prefer it spelt Caelia

[comtessa]

Celia is lovely, very classic but not common. Please spell it Celia to save your DC from having to always spell out her name!

[BongoWinslow]

It's a lovely name.

I like Celia Charlotte best.

[emmyloo2]

Loce Celia. We were also considering Cecile. Celia Charlotte is probably my favourite but they are all nice.

It is a nice change from the Lilys, Olivias and Sophies that are everywhere (although these are all nice names!).

I really like it.

[LaundryLyne]

Personally I don't really like Celia, sorry. I really like Clementine and Mary though

[BunnyLebowski]

Love it in Spanish (Theyleea) but not in English.

[BunnyLebowski]

That's meant to be Theyleea with the emphasis on the lee bit!

[shumway]

Celia is a lovely name.

[Sinkingfeeling]

I love Celia - it was on our list for dd3. I like Mary as a middle name from your choices. Connotations - the only two I can think of are Celia, cousin of Rosalind in As You Like It and Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter).

[polkadottytotty]

I like it.

[chocolatefroggie]

I like it a lot but I think celia may not celia mary would be my favourite combo.

[Eskarina]

My MIL is Celia Rosemary which seems to flow well. Celia Mary is similar. I think it's a lovely name.

[JimmyTarbuck]

Lovely name. My mum is Celia Mary and is the most lovely human on this planet.

[wisteria12]

I know a nice little girl called Celia. I do like it but it kind of has Piers Morgan connotations for me ever since he married Celia Walden - that's pretty obscure though, so I wouldn't worry!

[GladioliBuckets]

Prefer Delia and Cecille for some reason.
All those middle names go great though.
