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

Cecily, I know one known as CeCe.

Don't like the others.

SunnyInMay · 04/10/2016 16:35

Cecily.

Emilia is nice but she'll forever be saying "no, with an E."

DramaAlpaca · 04/10/2016 16:31

I like Cecily best, followed by Emilia.

I don't like Tabitha at all.

HettyB · 04/10/2016 16:21

Cecily or Emilia. I really dislike Tabitha.

maggiethemagpie · 03/10/2016 19:23

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.

Sophronia · 03/10/2016 19:22

Tabitha or Cecily

Ditsy4 · 03/10/2016 17:38

I like all of them.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/10/2016 17:36

Tabitha.

sashenka · 03/10/2016 16:58

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

CakeRattleandRoll · 03/10/2016 16:57

Tabitha

blinkowl · 03/10/2016 16:09

I love Tabitha.

TempsPerdu · 03/10/2016 16:08

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).

eatsleephockeyrepeat · 03/10/2016 15:53

Cecily!

HumphreyCobblers · 03/10/2016 15:52

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

MrsHulk · 03/10/2016 15:49

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

MrsHulk · 03/10/2016 15:49

Tabitha is lovely

heron98 · 03/10/2016 15:44

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

DoItTooJulia · 03/10/2016 15:44

Cecily. Cute as a button!

Flossierules · 03/10/2016 15:43

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

Pantsalive · 03/10/2016 15:39

Tabitha
We know a lot of Emilias

Loyly · 03/10/2016 15:32

Cecily

MrsMushrooms · 03/10/2016 15:22

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!

Bountybarsyuk · 03/10/2016 15:20

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

Twozealotmorethan1 · 03/10/2016 15:17

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.

ppeatfruit · 03/10/2016 15:13

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 ).
