Final 3 - which name do you prefer?

[HainaultViaNewburyPark]

First of all, I'm not interested in any other suggestions. I'd just like to know which of these 3 names you prefer:
Adeline
Cecily
Miranda

Surname is 2 syllables and starts with a T. Middle name will be either Jane or Mary.

[DramaAlpaca]

They are all lovely names, but my vote goes to Cecily Jane.

[EllaHen]

I think I like Cecily. Especially with your T surname and middle name Jane.

[Finola1step]

Another vote for Cecily Jane. Congratulations

[BendydickCuminsnatch]

Cecily Jane Turner/Tucker etc sounds just lovely. I love Adeline but would hesitate due to een/ine pronunciation. Miranda is lovely too but I choose Cecily.

[MoonHare]

Miranda then Cecily not Adeline - again due to the potential for pn confusion.

[HainaultViaNewburyPark]

We'd pronounce the ending of Adeline as 'een' - it hadn't even occurred to me that there might be a different pronunciation

[Sophronia]

Cecily Mary sounds good to me.

[BenLui]

Cecily Jane here too.

[MoonHare]

I think people who don't know her on seeing it written down will often decide it's pn Adel-ine- rhymes with line, rather than the een you prefer.

[Loyly]

Cecily

[FresasAndFrambuesas]

I would definitely pronounce adeline with an 'ine' sound, not an 'een' sound if i read it.

I like both your others but prefer Jane as the middle name with both Miranda and Cecily

[FresasAndFrambuesas]

Oh, also I know you said no other names but it's more of a variant, I think Cecily Maria works well too

[Annabelle4]

Cecily Jane is absolutely beautiful.

[KellyMarieTunstall2]

Cecily. Its lovely and on my list too.

[Pemba]

Miranda

[Dunzo]

Cecily Jane is great.

I love a similar name - Cecilia and had it on our girls list (nickname CeCe which I thought would be cute when she was little)

I agree with Adeline having a few pronunciations.

[MollyHuaCha]

Cecily

[Argeles]

Adeline definitely - it’s very beautiful.

Adeline Mary surname

[ChocolateCrunch]

Miranda

[SweetChickadee]

Cecily - so pretty

[MadisonAvenue]

Adeline, with the -ine pronunciation, is beautiful.

[ZuzuMylittleGingersnap]

Cecily Jane - lovely!

(Nicest in its Cecily entirety, IMO, but "CeCe", with the "See-See" pronunciation, does work really well for a shortening).

[BewareOfTheToddler]

Adeline Mary! Or Cecily Jane. But all are lovely names.

[Mishappening]

Miranda

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm going to show DH this thread when he gets home (he's worried that Cecily would be perceived as a wishy-washy name).

I always thought names ending 'ine' were pronounced 'een' in English (e.g. Francine, Pauline, Celine). It's interesting to hear that this isn't necessarily the case. Definitely food for thought.
