Cecily V Penelope

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.
