(22 Posts)Which do you think is best for our baby girl? Middle name is Violet after her great granny. Big sis is Aurora.
Penelope!
Cecily Violet. Gorgeous name. I also really love Cicely.
Penelope. So much better than prissy Cecily.
Cecily Violet is gorgeous!!!
Think Penelope Violet sort of stumbles on my tongue? Just not as natural a fit for me
Both so pretty, but I prefer Cecily.
Penelope. Penelope Violet is a beautiful name.
I know a Penelope and she is called either Penny or Pen. Do you like the shorter versions as that’ll be likely.
Cecily. Penelope is nice enough but I don’t like Penny as a nn
Penelope. Classic and gives numerous nn options.
I quite like Penny although will admit I prefer the nickname Nell.
Much prefer Penelope- such a beautiful name!
Cecily has a horrible sound to it. Such a harsh S. And sounds like Silly. I say this as someone who has an auntie called Cecily (who I adore). Even knowing someone with this name didn’t change my mind. I hate it 🙈
Out of the 2 names, I prefer Penelope but I think Cecily goes better with violet
Penelope
I prefer Penelope. Adore nickname Nell. Cecily is nice enough though and has the advantage of being fairly unusual.
Thanks everyone.
Bumping for a few more opinions, if ok? Still very torn. We may resort to picking from a hat soon haha.
MUCH prefer Penelope
Agree with PP, Cecily just sounds like silly and has a horrid harsh S sound to it. Nickname Cissy is really bad and is an insulting word
Aurora and Penelope sound amazing together
Have you chosen yet @LizzyMargaret
think Cecily Violet sounds great - although with just 2 options would wait til DD arrives and then decide (we did !) and after a couple of days we were sure....
Penelope
Cecily!
Cecily Violet for me - but then I’ve been saying that since your 1st thread!
Not yet fully decided but leaning towards Penelope as slightly put off by the comments about Cecily. I do love it as well as Cece however.
