Any thoughts on this name or potential second names? Our surname has a lot of syllables..

We considered it had DS1 been a boy. I like the nickname cece for a little girl. I think I prefer just Celia though thinking about it, Cecily is too close to Cecil for me!

What about Celia? That's what I would have called our second child if she wasn't a boy!

Beautiful name (as is Cecily) - on my list of names I wish I'd used!!

Yes i think Cecilia is better.

Other possible contenders are Beatrice or Emilia (but DH least favourite)

It's a pretty name, and unusual. I think it's spelled Cecilia though. What would you call her for short - Sissy, Celie or Cece (sp?) or something else?

I know one adult Cecelia and she has a surprising amount of trouble with people saying/spelling her name remotely correctly.

It's a lovely name, but that might be worth considering.

it's a lovely name and I wouldn't associate with the song, the songs old, I'm not.

I prefer Cecily. Cecelia is a bit hard sounding to me.

ladybirdsarelovely33 · 05/02/2018 16:38

I don't associate it with the song at all. It's lovely but a bit prissy.

Squ1ggle · 05/02/2018 16:38

Can also be spelt Cecilia

rainbownights · 05/02/2018 16:36

oops
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees

Harebellmeadow · 05/02/2018 16:36

Cecilia is how I would expect it to be spelt. Lovely name. ❤️
