An unusual girl's name

On my family tree, I came across a beautiful, unusual girl's name: Celindah.

Now, where can I get a baby girl?

It sounds like kitchen equipment

Is it pronouced how it sounds? I get something similar to Cylinder.

Grufallosfriends · 24/09/2019 11:06

I would have thought more like Ce LIND a with the emphasis on the second syllable.

Cinderella

Is it pronounced with a soft or hard 'c'?

Seh-LIN-duh

I think it's like a cross between Celia and Linda, so Seh-LIN-duh.

Not sure if im pronouncing it right but it sounds like

calendar or collider to me .....

Thatsnotmymammoth · 24/09/2019 16:23

My first thought on saying it is that it sounds like cylinder.

@CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook yup, I get cyclinder too.

whatausername · 24/09/2019 17:48

Perhaps they couldn’t decide between Celia and Belinda?
