Really don't like it.

AbbeyA · 19/09/2008 22:17

It is pretty but I don't like Cece.

janeite · 19/09/2008 22:12

Absolutely love Cecily; don't like Cece.

looby we obviously have the same taste! I wanted to spell DD2 as Maia but DH thought it might be confusing to say! I settled on Maya as it obvious how it should be said but if I had a penny for every time it was pronounced Mia or Mya, I would be a rich woman.

Hmm, you are all going to kill me but I have gone off Cecily now. No idea why but I was saying it to my bump today and it just didn't sound right.

Please help me with ideas.

As I said on your previous thread, Cecily is a gorgeous name and one I may well use for my 3rd baby if a DD (if I can persuade DH also- minor point).

We also have a Maia (pm Maya) and I love the name Grace.

Leah wouldn't have been my choice but I can live with it. Leah was 2nd choice of wife after Rachel for the biblical character (Jacob?) which is not very flattering.

Oh thank you seeker! My Grace wants to grow her hair to her waist but if it is anything like mine, it won't grow past her chest. Knowing the young girls these days, she will be demanding Britney esq extensions come her 10th Birthday. That is unusual for the two Graces to meet up again and both have the same distinctive hair!

That's 3 red-haired Graces, pg! Your family is gergous by the way!

What are the chances in a school of 1400 girls there would be two Graces with waist length red hair in the same form!

GrapeJelly · 19/09/2008 12:41

Lovely, gorgeous name!

Vulgar · 19/09/2008 12:26

Love Cecily.

Makes me think of Cecily Mary Barker.

My Grace has red hair as well (well more strawberry now but if you look on my profile she was very red as a baby)!

There are a couple of these at school. I think it's a bit overly girly and too old fashioned for myh liking.

CaptainNancy · 19/09/2008 11:43

that was bound to happen- even if you'd called her Sharon or Mavis!

seeker · 19/09/2008 11:38

It was funny, I wanted something that was slightly unusual but not eyebrow raising. We chose Grace, and the first time I went to a mother and baby I put my little red haired baby down on a rug next to another red haired baby - who turned out to be called Grace! And the two of them have met again now in Secondary school 12 years later.

Seeker, you started the trend! I love it though, my favourite ever name. Always wanted to call my first DD Grace. In Grace's primary there are 4 classes per year and out of the 70/80 girls there are only the 2 of them.
