Hi, just looking to decide on a girls name!! Could you let me know which you prefer. Middle name is double name.

Cecelia Bridie-Jane
Cecelia Bridget-Jane
Cecelia Anne-Jane
Brie Monica-Jane
Bridie-Jane Monica
Bridie Monica-Jane

We would really like Cecelia or a variant of Bridget as first name and Jane somewhere in the full name if anybody has any ideas :)

Thank you so much, we just discussed Anna Bridie Jane and we both like it!

Oh yay, so glad you like it, I think it’s lovely ☺️

Anna Celia Jane or Celia-Jane if you must.

My DD has 2 middle names and no hyphen.

I like Cecelia Anne-Jane best from your choices. Agree with pp that Bridget-Jane is possibly a bit too much like Bridget Jones (but not a major issue for middle names). I’m personally not so keen on Bridie or Brie as first names, but nice as middle names.
A few variants I prefer if you would like any ideas -

Anna Bridie Jane
Anna Monica Jane
Celia Monica Jane
Ann Cecelia Jane

We are hoping to stick with the spelling Cecelia because our passed family member was called Celia who we want to honour.
But Cecelia doesn't truly honour Celia, and Cecilia has Celia in it.

MaloneMeadow · 30/01/2024 22:06

Do they have to be hyphenated? All a bit of a mouthful, especially with a double surname but Cecelia Bridget-Jane is my favourite

Edited

I agree, it works the best.

Thanks for all your thoughts. We are hoping to stick with the spelling Cecelia because our passed family member was called Celia who we want to honour. With the hyphens we won't be using them daily in her name but on her birth cert if you don't use a hypen when giving a double middle name the second middle name tends to be lost in records (in our country anyway). This has happened to two people I know who gave their children two middle names.

I agree with Brie and cheese - my husband likes how it's one syllable. He also suggested Bee but I think a kid would be teased for that one even more!

Bridie Jane

Is what I would choose from your list

Ensuite · 09/02/2024 06:41

Cecelia for the first name

Snugglemonkey · 09/02/2024 00:07

I do not like hyphens and I do not think any of these names go together with a hype. I like the names individually, but do not think they go. We have 4 Brigids in my extended family. A variety of ages

I love Bridie as I have a lovely old aunt called Bridie. She had a daughter also called Brigid, but we called her Birdie.

We also have two named Bríd

Aquamarine1029 · 08/02/2024 23:44

The hyphens are totally pointless and your child won't thank you.

theduchessofspork · 08/02/2024 23:41

knock off the hyphens (eternally naff) and don’t use Bridie as a full name (too twee) or Brie at all (you might be a desperate housewife fan, but her peers will just think of cheese.)

Cecilia Bridget Jane is really lovely

I like Bridget Cecilia Jane too

is there a particular reason you want to spell it Cecelia? I know it’s a variant but it isn’t standard (if you are in the UK) so it may be a pain for her.

MeinKraft · 08/02/2024 22:00

Jane Bridie

I know that wasn't one of the options, sorry

Mumofgirls2017 · 08/02/2024 21:58

Cecilia Bridie-jane

Thanks for all the input. The bridget variant is sentimental after a family member as is Jane

RuthW · 31/01/2024 12:17

First one

miniaturepixieonacid · 31/01/2024 12:13

My favourite is Cecelia Bridie-Jane

FayCarew · 31/01/2024 09:08

Cecelia - Cecilia is the usual spelling
Brie - too cheesyBridie - my brain wants to read it as BirdieI don't like hyphenated names and know lots of Sarah Jane, Emma Jane and Laura Janes so the - Jane seems dated
Bridget-Jane doesn't flow and too many j sounds
Anne-Jane doesn't flow and sounds a bit like Engine

Cecilia Bridget Jane is OK
Bridget Cecilia and Cecilia Bridget are ok
Monica is OK

Queenmaker · 30/01/2024 22:17

Bridie is a well known nn for Bridget @OopsieeDaisy also hardly anyone even knows anyone else's middle name, it's not a big deal.

I meant more as a standalone first name as per the last 2 options. It’s personal choice anyway, only thought I’d mention it as it would put me off.

user1492757084 · 31/01/2024 07:47

I would not use the hyphen and saying Bridget Jane aloud is harsh sounding.

Best from your list ..

Cecelia Bridie Jane
Cecelia Jane Bridget
Bridie Monica Jane - my fave

Others ..
Bridget Celia Jane
Bridie Jane Cecilia
Anna Cecelia - my fave
Jane Monica
Cecily Anne Bridget

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 30/01/2024 22:21

Bridie Jane makes me think of Bridget jones. I prefer the Bridget names to the Cecelia one.

Nttttt · 30/01/2024 22:20

I can promise you anything with B-J hyphenated like that will get your daughter bullied in school.

They will call her Cecilia B-J

I would just pick one middle name and drop the hyphen as they are all pretty names :)

SushiSushi · 30/01/2024 22:17

Cecilia Jane or Cecilia Anne are both lovely.

No hyphens!
