Curious to see which people would choose Cecilia Violet or Cecily Violet? With an older sister called Aurora.

Have you considered Celeste? I like that better than Cecily or Cecilia.

Camilla?

Serena was a lovely suggestion. Goes brilliantly with Aurora, similar in sound to Cecilia but less prissy. Love it.

LizzyMargaret · 30/11/2019 09:08

Camilla isn’t one for us, sorry. Serena is quite nice but I think closer to Aurora than Cecilia. I do like Celeste but I think I’d feel compelled to name a possible third Luna or something lol. I do still much prefer Cecilia and Cecily but thank you for the suggestions!

Love Cecily

Cecilia I think of that song... Cecilia your breaking my heart...

Cecilia is my favourite.

Cecily is a cross between cess and silly.

I love Cecilia: we thought about to for DD but it’s that bloomin song that I’ve got forever associated with it, damn you Simon, Garfunkel and Suggs too.

Cecily IMHO is super grand. I love it as well - it’s an ancient, regal, queenly name that would go with something more “new age” like Aurora.

@LizzyMargaret that's what I would have thought but the Cecily I know definitely pronounces it with the initial siss sound, like Sicily. Or Cicely.

Cecilia Violet. It's gorgeous.
even lovelier than Penelope Violet.

Cecilia

Beautiful and classic, patron saint of music.

For the future, if she lived somewhere else, beautiful in French, Spanish, Italian etc...

Not common at all but not unknown.
