Final 3 - which name do you prefer?

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.

Miranda

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 25/10/2017 18:06

Cecily. Its lovely and on my list too.

Annabelle4 · 25/10/2017 17:56

Cecily Jane is absolutely beautiful.

FresasAndFrambuesas · 25/10/2017 17:53

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

FresasAndFrambuesas · 25/10/2017 17:52

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

Cecily

MoonHare · 25/10/2017 17:48

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.

BenLui · 25/10/2017 17:47

Cecily Jane here too.

Sophronia · 25/10/2017 17:46

Cecily Mary sounds good to me.

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

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

BendydickCuminsnatch · 25/10/2017 17:34

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.

Finola1step · 25/10/2017 17:34

Another vote for Cecily Jane. Congratulations Flowers

EllaHen · 25/10/2017 17:33

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

DramaAlpaca · 25/10/2017 17:32

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