Cecilia?

I've loved the name Cecilia ever since reading Atonement! I also love that she is the patron saint of music. DH thinks it's too repetitive on the 's' sound, which I suppose I can see. What do you think? I also like Cece and Celie/Celia as nicknames.
Someone just informed me that baby's due date is Saint Cecilia's day! Seems like fate? Do you like this name?

Love it but was put off by the possibility of my child having a lisp.....

I always liked it because i like Celia / Celie. I think the full Cecelia is too much though.

Love it; I know one in real life and she is lovely.

I have a Norwegian friend called Cecilia. Beautiful name. And I love the shortenings too.

Great name. So many positives, especially the musical associations.

It's okay. Personally I prefer Cecily and even Cicely.

Desperad0 · 10/07/2017 11:13

I love it but do prefer Cecile

Chloris33 · 10/07/2017 11:15

Probably prefer Cecily, but really like Cecilia too. Both were on my list and vetoed by DH :-)

I chose it for my confirmation name. Love the name but in that one year where people would ask about what name I'd chosen/used I was driven demented by that bloody song being sung back at me every time. If it followed me around for life I may have snapped. If you're okay with that go for it, it really is lovely Smile
