Which do you prefer? I know Emilia is risky with the link to Amelia. I really like it though.

Cecily or Tabitha.

Emilia is so overdone, along with Amelia, Emily, Amelie etc.

I like them all, I don't reckon it's problematic to have a popular name. Worse to have something weird like Honey boo boo or whatever! (for the child ).

I like Emilia best. People will most likely get it confused with Amelia though.

Not sure about Cecily... It's ok.

Tabitha I dislike. Too feline sounding for me.

I think Emelia is nice, I don't know any little Emeilas...

I like Tabitha, and Emilia is nice but I can see people mixing it up with Amelia which can be awkward. Not at all keen on Cecily, sorry!

Love love Tabitha. Also quite like Cecily but think I prefer Cecelia. Emilia is very pretty but a bit boring.

Cecily. Cute as a button!

Cecily is awful (sorry). Tabitha is quite pretentious, you wouldn't get away with it where I live. Emilia is OK.

Tabitha is lovely

Cecily is risky - I had a bad lisp as a child and would have mangled that until I was 13 or so!

Cecily and Tabitha are lovely, I also like Emilia but it is too close to all the Amelias out there.

Cecily!

I'd go for Tabitha - lovely name. Emilia is overdone and will be confused with Amelia, and Cecily is too lispy (quite like Cecilia though).

Cecily is definitely my favourite- I've always adored it!
Tabitha is also lovely Smile

I know a Cecily who gets shortened to Cess - makes me think of cess pit.

Emilia is ok but overdone

I love Tabitha! It is a cat's name though.

Cecily or Emilia. I really dislike Tabitha.

I like Cecily best, followed by Emilia.

I don't like Tabitha at all.
