Cecily

Prefer Cicely to Cecily! Cicely Hamilton is a great example!

I think Felicity is really pretty 😊

Cecily

They are both pretty I like that with Cecily you can shorten it to 'CeCe' which I think is beautiful but also with felicity you can shorten it to Lissy , Fifi or flo💖 hard decision!

Felicity. I really don't like Cecily, find it a bit empty/airy , not sure the word.

MercyBodle · 04/04/2019 09:50

I prefer Felicity - it's more upbeat I think.

PBobs · 04/04/2019 10:55

I like Felicity - she sounds like she'd be more fun than Cecily. But then I know a Felicity and she is super fun. We call her Fel for short.

Tiramisu1 · 04/04/2019 12:22

I like Cecily

KingHenrysCodpiece · 04/04/2019 12:24

Felicity!

Felicity - nns Fels, Feli, Flick, Flickster, Fliss. My younger DD. An adult now and lovely and fully inhabits her name - Felicity means happiness, bliss, a blessing and a source of joy.
What more could you wish for? Smile

Tiramisu1 · 04/04/2019 12:37

Fels, Feli, Flick, Flickster, Fliss.

Really? Isn't Felicity much nicer?

SweetbutaPsycho · 04/04/2019 13:24

Cecily is my favourite. Cece is also an adorable nickname.

onalongsabbatical · 04/04/2019 13:28

Tiramisu1 all I can say to that really is that nicknames don't bother me or her, and are all taken as signs of affection.

Felicity

Yogagirl123 · 04/04/2019 19:42

Felicity, I love that name.

Freaking0ut · 04/04/2019 21:36

When people say about shortening Cecily to Ce-ce, is that pronounced Sessy or seesee?

Tiramisu1 · 04/04/2019 22:07

Sessy/Ceci like the beginning of Cecily.

FatJannit · 04/04/2019 22:13

why do all girls names these days end in a 'y'?
My DDs (not my breasts) are called Helga, Ulga, Mitchelle Obama and Serena. go with something hearty like Margrit, or my personal favourit, Bridgit Wine. Cecily is a terrible twist on the male Cecil anyway. or something Biblical like Bathsheba.

Fat Jan seding you love and kisses xoxox

LesLavandes · 04/04/2019 22:14

Cecily

GlitterPixie · 04/04/2019 22:17

Felicity. I really dislike Cecily for some reason

Scarletrose18 · 04/04/2019 22:51

Felicity for sure!
