Cecil

[Midnightdream]

Thoughts?

Would be pronouced SESS-ul or SEE-sul. I like both ways!

Awful.

Never heard of it being pronounced anyway other than Sess - ul though.

Not keen OP.

Make me think of Lord Burghley

Awful.

In the same vein as Percy IMO.

Oh no. I generally like "old man" names, but not this one.

Why?

Percy was a choice until my dad told me the slang word and I was horrified lol.

I have Albus, Albert? I have 2 names for a girl(dont know the gender yet) but it's so hard soon as I saw DS name it was meant to be.

@Wewearpinkonwednesdays

I love 1900-1930 names. I prefer the older names.

I think both are acceptable but SESSil is how I would say it.

Not Albus - too Harry Potter.

Alban?

I like it. I went out with a guy with the name and he went by Ces, pronounced Sess. It was cool.

How about Walter or Victor?

Alban is very nice!

Walter reminds me of Breaking Bad(I loved it so no judgement here lol) victor is a no!

Cecil is not great tbh. It sounds like a cat hissing.
What about Sidney?

I think it means blind one. Depending on how important meanings are to you.

Hate the string Sssssss sound in Cecil
What’s your other DCs name

I love Percy by the way. It’s getting more mainstream. I would use it.

Sidney nn Sid is nice

Really awful! Sorry.

Not keen on Cecil
Walter and Alban are good.
Roland?

I think it’s awful

Not Walter, nn is Wally. Not good for a kid.

Albus will mark you as a Harry Potter fan. I like Albert though.

Basil
Chester
Horace
Wilbur
Milton nn Mitt

Meant to say, don't mind Cecil, sess not see for pronunciation though!

Ha ha ha. No.

John's a nice name!!

If you're posh, it would be 'Siss-uhl'.

My Dad is a Cecil btw.

@FluffyEggsontoast DS is Ralph. I adore sidney but my partner isnt keen

Albus is off the list. Alban is on it!

Any thoughts on Cillian Or Cyril?
