My gawd I am becoming a baby name obsessive!

Love the nn Cece so we are considering Cecilia/Cecelia.

A/what do you think?

B/ How should it be pronounced?

Sa-SEE-lee-ah

Or

Sa-seel-yah

I love this, on my short list. I chose Cecilia as my saint's name when I was being confirmed (RC). She is the patron saint of music.

Cecily was on the very top of my girl list! Sadly, DH nixed it. I prefer it to Cecilia as it has got a bit more of an edge and is more elegant, IMO.
Cecilia is lovely too though!

Lovely name, with pronounciation Seh-SEE-li-a, and a nice connection of Patron Saint of music.
