Audrey, Cecilie, Winnie

[JemimaJoy]

Thoughts? What is your favourite and least favourite (or do you hate them all ) and why?

For those who are confused - Cecilie is a name, I expect pronounced the same as Cecily? I just came across Cecilie when reading about Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark. Not too fussed abojt spelling, Cecily is fine too.

And thank you for the opinions!

Ok, just seen your update.
Go for Cecily spelling.
My vote - Cecily. Gorgeous name.
Audrey - bleugghhh. Audrey Barlow off Corrie. Old lady name.
Winnie - same as above, but worse.

Winnie is awful

Haha i really appreciate these replies but there's no clear winner and most people feel strongly about the names... But everyone feels strongly about a different one. Seems thay whichever I choose will be loved or absolutely despised by someone

I love Cecilie (or Cecily) actually - I know a baby Cecilia nn Cecilie and think it's very elegant and cute. There's also the older English spelling Cicely.

Not keen on Audrey and I really dislike Winnie, sorry (also bear in mind there's a series of children's books called Winnie the Witch...)

But appreciate all the same!

@stackthecats is is terrible to admit that it was when reading Winnie the Witch that I first started to like the name? 😂

I'd go with Cecilia as a formal name and then you can use Cecily/Cecilie as you like! Really cute for a little girl.

Which is why, while it’s always worth weighing up obvious teasing potential, ultimately it comes down to what you like best. Even choosing classics isn’t fully crowd pleasing as some people deride that as dull. I do think the Winnie the Pooh thing is significant, it’s still current. Cecily is gorgeous imo and I prefer the look of it Cecilie which I find overkill with the i’s and e’s. Subjective taste, but I also think it’s worth considering a burdensome lifetime of corrections as I think most people would default to Cecily. Audrey - not my taste, I find dr- sound dreary. But that’s completely subjective and the name itself is perfectly fine and has a chic association. Happy choosing ☺️

I love Audrey, don't mind Cecilie and dislike Winnie.

Audrey - Coronation Street
Cecilie - not this spelling, Cecily, Cecilé or Cecilia, or Celia are much nicer
Winnie - the Pooh

Sorry, Cécile (misplaced accent)
