ANYTHING but Piper! My favourite name at the moment is Cecily.

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/03/2023 10:28

From your shortlist I like Cecily best.

Thank you for all your suggestions, we are still undecided.

Our shortlist so far-
Cecily
Piper
Florence
Elodie
Luna

I'd go with Cecily or Piper because the other three are quite popular in baby groups now. Especially Florence and Luna.

Delilah and April

Delilah and Emmeline

Delilah and Bethan

Delilah and Rebecca

Cecily

I like Elodie best followed by Florence. They’re both really nice but not so keen on the others, definitely not feeling the love for Cecily.

I like Cecily with Delilah

I've seen that it is an older thread, just revived by someone, but would like to say that Delilah and Cecily is a beautiful combination!

Isolde pronunciation depends on the country in France it’s Isold, in Germany it’s Isolduh.

Isolde comes from Tristan and Yseult/Iseult and was popularised in Germany in the 19th c.
