What do people think of this? nickname cece or is it too old fashioned? we will call her Cece but will of course get cecelia at school ect.

For reference we have a Rafferty nn Raffy so like slightly different but not unheard of names.

I also love Gigi but can’t find a ‘full’ name I like!!

Okay think this has confirmed I prefer Cece, what do people think? I like names that can suit all ages.

I much prefer the traditional spelling Cecilia- you can still use Cece (or Ceci).

Georgina, Georgia, Georgette, Gina, Genevieve, Giselle, Virginia, Giovanna, Giulia.

Georgina seems the obvious choice
Angela
Juliet
Gabriella

I know a Cecilia called CeCe so I think it’s lovely.

GiGi is usually Georgina but these days lots of Grandmas use Gigi, so thst might be worth considering.

Traditional spelling is Cecilia with a I in the middle, which you may want to choose if you don't want her to have to spell her name for the rest of her life.

I'm related to a Cecilia and she likes her name.

Cece is a lot nicer than Gigi.
