What do you think? Not as keen on Cecily.

Not keen

Nice but the selling doesn't look 'right'

AnyaMoondial · 13/04/2018 10:57

Yeah it's lovely.

MollyHuaCha · 13/04/2018 09:25

Love it. Nn Cici.

This was top of my list until a troublesome client called Cicely became mine to deal with! It felt like an omen ! I chose another lovely name but still yearn for a Cicely!

I like it because it reminds me of the character in The Importance of being Earnest. I also like Celeste (mainly because of the actress Celeste Home in High Society)

I want to like it but it gives me the feeling that someone has misspelled Cecile or Sicily (the place).

I’m pretty sure if I actually met someone called Cicely it wouldn’t seem so weird though, it just sounds a bit odd in the abstract.

Pretty, unusual name. Popular In Victorian times.

Love it.

Hmm. Sounds a bit gynaecological.

Or like an exotic vegetable

Lovely, old fashioned name (and the only Cicely I have ever known in person was a lovely young woman).

It's unusual without being made up. I think it was very popular a few centuries ago.

Very pretty.
