Cece or CeCe

[Blissiee]

Should you have a capital in the middle? 🤔

ffs had not 'hand'

No capital. You don't randomly put a capital letter in the middle of a word.

Cece if you want to use it as the actual full name.

If you're using it as a diminutive/nickname for something like Cecelia, then I think you can use either.

If you're using it as a diminutive/nickname for something like Celia Celeste, then I'd use CeCe because it's a short form of two names starting Ce.

I would presume it was a nickname too. Probably Cecilia.

Dont capitalise in the middle. Looks odd.

Capitals in the middle make no Sense!

See what I did there?

Actually my German keyboard is to blame for that...

The Cecilia I know goes by Ceci.

If it’s the actual name rather than a nickname then I think just the capital at the start, otherwise she’ll have a lifetime of hassle trying to get it spelled right on any formal documents, systems, etc.

No, but anyway it’s a nickname for Celia, Cecilia, Cecily, Cecile etc

CeCe on it’s on sounds like a 1950s pin up in the Zsa Zsa Gabor mode - fine if that’s what you like, but it’s a very particular flavour which she may not like - so I really would give her a more standard full name

People on here can be so annoying.

Archie, Ronnie, Alfie etc are all short for longer names, as are Evie, Lottie, Ellie. I’m sure they’ll all cope just fine.

I love the name Cece, reminds me of New Girl
and First Dates - both gorgeous girls. It was on my list too. I don’t think you need to use a capital.

fwiw I doubt anyone ever intended to call their child "blind". It's just a name.

I googled it and aparantly it is a girl's name of Latin origin meaning "blind one". No idea if that's true though.
Yes but I think it’s the long form, Cecilia, that means blind one? Still a beautiful name though.

Archie, Ronnie, Alfie etc are all short for longer names, as are Evie, Lottie, Ellie. I’m sure they’ll all cope just fine

Yes but they are all actually names. CeCe is just a back spelling of initials. You might as well call a kid BeeJay or JayPee.
If you can't tell the difference you really shouldn't calling other people annoying.....

Cece and CeCe look like nicknames. They also don't travel well into other languages.

I'm not sure this poster is actually looking for straight answers.

Sorry I don't understand?

I've always known it spelt Cecy, as that was the name of the neighbour in the old book 'What Katy Did', one of my childhood favourites. CeCe is a little weird with the double capital, so I'd go with Cece (or Cecy!).

Oh Panda, it's so very confusing.

and why are people doing up-speak all over this site now?

Love the name. Considered it for our DD but the spelling got us too and we eventually decided against it. DH also has a colleague with same name in his team which put us off (although she's lovely) interestingly her name is spelt TsiTsi but I think it's African heritage

Aside from my personal thoughts on using it as a name CeCe makes it look like a brand name rather than a person's name.

If there's cultural heritage as to why you'd capitalised mid-name then that's fair enough but if you're based in the UK it will look odd to most people.

@jellybellybanana So what is an ‘actual name’ then? What is your official definition?

And if Ronnie can be short for Ronald, but Ronnie is, according to you, an actual name in its own right, and if Cece can be short for Cecelia (in some cases) can a shortened version of this not be a name? What’s the difference? That it’s not in the top 100?

Unless the other language is Italian. I've got several students called Cece.

It travels particularly well to Italy because it means chickpea in Italian - cute!

Up-speak? What do you mean?

In British English I think spelling it Cece might cause pronunciation issues. If I saw this on a register I wouldn't have any idea how to pronounce. Cease? se-say? Sees? Cee say? Not necessarily a problem but you might have to explain a few times.
