Are these names too similar?

DD2 is due in a few weeks time. Our 2 year old DD is called Aurelia (pronounced Au-Ray-Lia), and OH and I both really like the name Cecilia. But are they too similar?

I also like Cecily, but OH just hears Cecil and isn't so keen.

Please be kind and don't ruin the name for us, we're about 90% sure, but I just wanted to check opinions?

I think they are pretty similar. I also prefer Cecily. Sorry op.

The are a little close. Not overly though.
I’d prefer Cecily as a name if I was choosing between the two though. Good luck making your decision!
