Kate is too plain for my liking the other 3 are lovely

helpmum2003 · 17/06/2019 19:51

Love Cecilia and Nina.
Kate is slightly on plain side - I like Katie.
Don't like Zara, just personal opinion that one.

BelfortGabbz · 17/06/2019 19:53

Like Cecilia and Zara (CeCe great nn)

Lemonsqueasy · 17/06/2019 19:53

Love all of them except kate

BlueMerchant · 17/06/2019 19:54

Like all except Cecilia. Zara is fav.

Cyberworrier · 17/06/2019 19:58

I love Cecilia and Cece. All good names OP!

taylorlynn · 17/06/2019 20:02

I like Zara & Nina

BelulahBlanca · 17/06/2019 20:09

I feel Nina is very dated and Cecilia isn’t my cup of tea but love Kate and Zara.

newnewname19 · 17/06/2019 20:10

Cecelia was my Nan's name, but it often got shortened to Sissy which I don't like, so that's my concern there

Like them all, Cecilia is my least fave but still lovely. I prefer Cecily/Cicely.

Zara is my favourite but closely followed by the other two.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/06/2019 20:25

I love Kate.

RosemaryRemember · 17/06/2019 20:26

I like them all including Kate.

RosemaryRemember · 17/06/2019 20:28

Did your Nan like her name?

Neither of mine did, so I did not use them!

villamariavintrapp · 17/06/2019 20:33

Love Kate, Nina and Zara, all on my list (along with Lois). Love Cece but not keen on cecilia.

manicinsomniac · 18/06/2019 00:21

I love Zara.

Less keen on the others but they're all fine.

OddshoesOddsocks · 18/06/2019 00:29

I like them all!

Cecilia is my least fave but I love the nickname and the reasoning. They’re the best kind of names

Astronica · 18/06/2019 01:15

I like Kate, Zara and Cecelia in that order. I don't mind Nina but just don't find it as strong or interesting as the others. Kate has been a favourite of mine forever, a name I never tire of.

monsieurmarius · 18/06/2019 01:30

I love Nina and Zara. They're beautiful. I should like Cecilia but I know an awful cecilia and I really can't see past it!

ShmooBooMoo · 18/06/2019 12:41

Re your concerns about Cecelia being shortened to Sissy, how about Celeste as an alternative?
Also love Nina. Not a fan of Zara or Kate.

AshQ · 18/06/2019 16:34

I like them all except Kate.
Quite like Katie though.

PrincessLouis · 20/06/2019 23:28

My order is Nina, Kate (would do Katherine on birth certificate), Cecelia (bit frilly), Zara (bit insubstantial)

Along the Nina lines - Anna, Eliza?

UnderTheTree · 21/06/2019 00:49

I love Kate, its DD1's middle name (would have been first but I have a very close friend called Kate), not very popular these days.

I like Nina too!

Zara is ok.

Really not keen on Cecelia though, seems a bit old fashioned to me.

Lilyannarose · 21/06/2019 12:12

I like them all.

My favourites would be Cecelia or Zara.

I like both spellings of Cecelia/ Cecilia.
All the ones I know (I don't know too many) are shortened to Cece, so think you'll be fine with that.

Zara is lovely.
It's probably one of those "marmite" names you either love or dislike, but I love it!
It's not over common, but I do know a few little ones.
The same with Nina (although I don't think I've ever actually met a Nina of any age at any point).

I don't know any little Kate's, but lots of Katie's.
I actually like Kate though.
Maybe a longer name on the birth certificate such as Katherine, Kathleen, Katrina or Kaitlyn?
I think it's nice as a stand alone name though if you prefer something short and sweet,
