What do you think of Cecilia?

[morethemerrier]

Exp DC4, are my hormones in overdrive, or is this a pretty name? CC as a nn?

To go with Alexander nn Xander, William nn Will and Eleanor nn Ella?

Also like Cecily but dont think it goes as well with other DC. Can anyone suggest anything similar along those lines?

Thanks!

I like Cecilia (although I prefer Cecily). Cece or CC is a nice nn.

But I think Cecily would go fine with the others.

Cecelia is lovely but I can't say it without wanting to break into the Simon and Garfunkel song.

Cecily is gorgeous and goes well with your other DC names.

I prefer Celia - I think it's prettier but less "fussy"

What about

Lydia
Marianne
Margaret - nn Meg, Maggie, Peggy
Leah

My nana was called Cecilia but called Celia for short! She was actually Cecilia Agatha! She lived until she was 97!
I love the name!

I think it's lovely, and the full form sits really well with your other DC's names.

Love it. It's beautiful,and goes very well with your other children's lovely names.

Very nice name.

Pretty.

She's shaking my confidence daily

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it!!! It's DD2's middle name and have we known there was going to be a DD3 we would have kept it and used Cece.

Lovely names all round we have an Isabella (Ella) and Alexandra (Lexie)

Cecilia is lovely, very pretty. Much nicer than Cecily and Celia which are lumpier and don't flow as nicely.

I don't like Celia or Cecelia - very fussy and old sounding. Cece or similar sounds a bit more modern.

i adore it

Making love in the afternoon.

My aunt is a Cecilia I think it is a very nice name, and goes well with your other names. Actually I think Cecily does too.

Lovely, but I do prefer Cecily and I think it goes fine with the others.

I think Cecilia is a lovely name.

I absolutely love it but it means blind in case meanings matter to you

I do think Cecilia is a really pretty name...also I do like the french name Cecile which I think is lovely.

I like it but immediately think of the song as per a few above comments/lyrics! It is an immensely annoying song a la Tom Jones' Delilah, but that would be the only problem for me. I think it goes well with your other DC's names too.

She was also the patron saint of Music which cancels out the blind meaning for us

Nice name but the meaning would put me off.
