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!

Thankyou everybody, a lot more positive comments than I thought!

I had to google the song, not sure how well known it is to be relevant tbh but I can see how it could sway some people away from it,very racy isnt it! LOL!

Its on the list and is my fave so far,thanks again and nice to hear so many fond memories of relatives with the same name!

I cant believe it,talk about an omen! Just seen an advert for the series Imagine on BBC tonight about Simon and Garfunkel with the background music of 'Cecilia youre breaking my heart........'!!!??!!

Strange!

This is one of those names I feel really torn about. I love it to bits, but the blind thing is tricky. If it came down to it I probably would use it because who really knows that except us name obsessive sorts on MN anyway?

I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please...

I think only those of us of a certain age would associate it with the song, so don't let that put you off. It's a lovely name.

I hardly know the song. The name has been around a lot longer :)

it is a very beautiful and classic name

Hi morethemerrier.
I also have an Alexander and a William ( and an Ava).
Love Cecilia. Very pretty name. Also what about Celeste or Lydia as alternatives?

love Cecilia and Sisi as a NN. The music connection is nice, though I suppose might be a but if she turns out to be tone-deaf! I also really like the S&G song which is competing with the Jools Holland show in my head now!
