Cecily! Arabella is to snooty. Cecily is gorgeous!!

Horton · 12/04/2010 20:50

Arabella. Could you have Cecily as a middle name? They are both lovely.

Cecily. Arabella is a spoiled little rich girl having a tantrum because she wants another horse.

Cecily Westward - perfect! I would be so pleased to meet a little girl with this name. I'd immediately think she was destined for great things!

Jojay · 11/04/2010 20:47

Love Arabella. Bella is a beautiful nickname whereas I'm not sure what Cecily would shorted to - and even if you're not planning on shortening the name, in the 100 odd years that she is likely to live, someone will

MrsToffeeCrisp · 11/04/2010 20:42

Arabella. Love it!

JustMyTwoPenceWorth · 11/04/2010 20:29

If I had to pick one, I'd say arabella goes better with westwood.

Strix · 11/04/2010 20:29

Cecily (and works fabulously with your surname)

I do really like Cecily but love A names and agree that Arabella goes well with your surname. Is a lovely choice!
