Thoughts? What is your favourite and least favourite (or do you hate them all Grin) and why?

Audrey- Coronation Street, bit of an old lady name
Cecilie - looks like a misspelling
Winnie - Pooh or Mandela, not keen

Tianatiers · 29/04/2021 19:17

I love Audrey but I'm not keen on the other two names.

Hepburn
Bill Cosby's wife
Mandela

Cecily is ok. Not cecilie.
Winnie and Audrey are awful

I like Cecilie

There’s a pornstar called Winnie (not sure of surname) and I can only think of her when I hear this

Cecily or Cécile = lovely names

Cecilie = hideous. I detest the recent-ish fad of replacing the -y at the end of classic names with an -ie. I know of a Poppie, a Daisie and a Pollie 🤦🏻‍♀️

Cecilie is pretty, but I prefer the spelling Cecily. Not keen on the other two.

Edenember · 29/04/2021 18:48

Cecily by a long way, but spelled Cecily. Winnie is my least favourite, I just don’t get the appeal but I think I’m in a minority with that.

You mean Cecily not Cecile do you? I would spell it with a y otherwise will be endless correcting.

If so then prefer Cecily by a mile to the other two.

Love Winnie, hate Cecile (no reason why). Audrey I wouldn’t say I have an opinion.

Twickerhun · 29/04/2021 16:45

I love Winnie and hate Audrey and I don’t know why!!! Cecile I’m not sure about. Sorry if that’s not helpful. I assume it’s a weird association thing.

Old lady.
If you really must.
The pooh.
