[oldbutnotpastit]

We're down to the final two names for dd6 arriving by elcs in 3 weeks .opinions please and which do you prefer and why .please be gentle this pregnancy has and remains stressful.

The names are in no particular order
Miranda
Cecilia

Thanks

I love Miranda

Miranda by a mile.

Miranda definitely.

Cecilia. Miranda strikes me a Middle Aged and frumpy - both Miranda hart and Hobbes spring to mind.

Cecilia is lovely as is nn Cece should you need one.
Miranda I just don't like.
Would like to know your other dc names if you don't mind sharing?

Cecelia has me singing along to Simon and Garfunkel

I'm afraid Miranda has rather been taken over by Miranda Hart being so in your face recently.

I love both but have a slight preference for Cecilia. It's a little more unusual & doesn't have the Miranda Hart connotations. Ceci is such a cute nickname.

Out of those two I would go with Cecelia.
Miranda is a nice name, but I just can't imagine a baby/child/teenager with that name. Whereas Cecelia seems to work better with every age.

Love cecelia, hate Miranda (sorry!)

both nice but I personally prefer Cecelia too.

Cecelia

So which one fits better with the above names or have we missed something that would work although I think we've exhausted the name books /websites /blogs in our search for the name

My niece is Miranda- she's always called Mira.

Both would work well with your other names and both are lovely.

I much prefer Miranda though, it's gorgeous. And I'm always surprised by how rare it is (not top 1000 I don't think). I know 2 little Mirandas, one is 6 and one is 8. I don't know any Cecilias.

What's the age range of your children if it's not rude to ask? I can imagine you've got a very full plate! All the best with birth of number 10.

Miranda does better, also Marissa would be nice?

not "does", goes!

Eldest DC is early twenties youngest is 4. This was definitely the I thought I was past it baby ,hence my user name .

Wow. I'm sure you're not past it! You'll be fine.

Both nice. Prefer Cecilia.

Both lovely.

I think I'd go for Miranda.

Cecilia for me - the Cecilia I know is one of the strongest, brightest most amazing people I've ever met.

Dh prefers one , I prefer the other although we could both live with either .neither of us actively despises the others preference and we haven't been able to find a compromise name that we both like .
My feelings are I prefer the meaning of Miranda, miranda hart connection is a minor irritation but not a deal breaker.I also like the Shakespearean connection .
Prefer the sound and feel of Cecilia and like the Simon and Garfunkel connection.ablso feel it seems to fit a wider age range and maybe feels less haughty than miranda
Mns will probably be Winifred rosemary/Rosanna

So far it's
