My gawd I am becoming a baby name obsessive!

Love the nn Cece so we are considering Cecilia/Cecelia.

A/what do you think?

B/ How should it be pronounced?

Sa-SEE-lee-ah

Or

Sa-seel-yah

Yea that's what I meant I pinkbell. Sorry not very good at writing down pronounciations like that.

May I ask what Cece is short for with you Uri?

Oh Beautiful! Its one of my favourite names.

I'd say "Seh-Seel-Yah" but pronounce it either way, its still the ultimate in elegant, timeless and gorgeous names.

Cece, well...I have a Cece (nn) but she's not Cecelia Grin

Love Cecelia. Would use it myself if we had another girl but rhymes with dd's name!

Pinkbell's pronunciation and the spelling Cecelia is better, looks more rounded than Cecilia. It also makes more sense if you're using the nickname Cece.

Plus would pronounce as pink bell said

galwaygirl · 20/11/2013 15:09

I like it but can't get past the meaning of it

Pinkbell123 · 20/11/2013 15:09

I love it! But I would pronounce it with more of a Seh sound at the front rather than a Sa.

So Seh-SEE-li-a

I also really like Cecily.
