Thank you!!

I really like Cecelia. I also really like Gabrielle, and I think if you encouraged a different nickname then you might not get her called Gabby (My DD is good friends with a Gabrielle who goes by Bri)

MojoJojo71 · 16/12/2020 19:51

Cecelia is my favourite from your list.

Mirabelle is pretty and would probably be my second choice.

I’m not keen on Rosabella, I love Rosa on its own though or Rosalind.

I’m not sure about Vanessa. I don’t think I know any Vanessa’s under 50.

How about Miranda? That seems to have a similar vibe to the names you like

Cecelia is beautiful

ArtemisBean · 16/12/2020 19:54

Cecilia, but with an i not an e.

I really like Vanessa.

I like Cecilia too, that spelling.

Rosabella and Mirabelle are too frilly for me, but I like Rosabel and Mirabel.

Krazynights34 · 16/12/2020 21:38

Rosanna?
I like Gabrielle most from your list

I was actually thinking of Rosanna too! Love that

Or Roxanna

Cecilia!
Love cici for short

Cordelia, Juliette or Vivienne also are nice

MercyBodle · 17/12/2020 00:22

Gabrielle is my strong favourite from your list. I'd be looking at other nicknames - Bri, as mentioned, Elle, Ellie, Ella, Belle, Gigi, Libby.

SleepingStandingUp · 17/12/2020 00:24

Ariella?

Have Gabriella but shorten it to Ella early on?

laurielo · 17/12/2020 02:09

Love Cecelia and also love Cece for short

VenusClapTrap · 17/12/2020 09:21

The Gabrielle that I know doesn’t shorten it, ever.

lilly2000 · 17/12/2020 20:47

@laurielo

Love Cecelia and also love Cece for short
Me too love that nickname!

Cecelia is by far my favourite from your list. So elegant. It’s got a tiny touch of haughtiness to it, which I like. I imagine Cecelia as a very beautiful and intelligent woman.

MenaiMna · 17/12/2020 21:03

I have to warn you that if you choose that spelling of Cecelia no one will ever notice and she will be Cecilia most of the time. (Voice of experience). Beautiful name though!

Veryverycalmnow · 17/12/2020 21:05

Delilah, shortened to Della or Lila

True I do think Cecilia has a lot of class to it! Definitely a strong contender

Oh thank you! Better keep to that spelling if I pick it

ForestNymph · 18/12/2020 15:32

Cecelia is beautiful.

AdaColeman · 18/12/2020 15:42

Cecelia is my favourite from your list.

I'm not keen on Mirabelle because of the plum connection, and don't like Rosabella.
