I like all of them but I don't think they go with anne as a middle name.

What about the other way round - Anne Cecily.

Nancy and Anne are the same really I think. And connie anne is difficult

love connie and nancy

I have always loved Cecily and would love to have a DD called that but DH vetoed it. Lucky our DC was a DS really. Nancy is a derivative of Ann(e), yes.

I love Cecily, and it goes really well with Anne

ooh, I'm going to check out the Nancy derivation of Anne thing, hadn't heard that.

I don't mind Cecily being shortened to Sissy, think it is sweet, and Sissy Spacek is really cool . If we were thinking of calling a boy Cecil and you'd pointed out the Sissy thing, would have been more of an issue!

I think Connie might be dropping out of the running, Connie Anne doesn't sound great, does it? and we are definite on the Anne part.

I like all of them, and considered all of them for DD [especially Cecily] Least keen on Connie, love Constance, but don't like Connie for some reason.

Love Connie. I wanted a Connie but DP said only if she was registered as Constance so we went with Anna. Not sure about Connie Anne though

Nancy is just a derivation of Anne isn't it?

Cecily goes best with Anne but will get shortened to Sissy

I like all of them, would probably go for Nancy

notasheep · 26/07/2008 10:44

Sorry not keen on any of them
