Julia - love it

Alice. Cici is lovely but I would use a more formal name with that as a nickname.

First place, Cece as a nn for Celeste or Cecilia or Celia or Cici for Felicity.

Second place is Julia.

Last place Alice as a little dull but still very pretty.

But then, if Cici is the full name, then that takes last place.

Julia, it's underused and lovely.

Second choice, Alice.

Everything @Balonzette said.

Alice or Julia.
Really don't like Cici but then I've only seen it written down.

Good luck for tomorrow, keep all 3 in mind and one will suddenly grow on you, no shame in not having a name for a few days. And if none of them stand out then none are quite right.

I'm a Julia and really like my name - it's quite classic/timeless yet not overused (I've only met a couple of others in RL and they were very different ages to me). It's also easy to say and spell and very international. Only issue I've ever had is fairly minor - occasionally some people (usually 60 plus) will automatically call me "Julie" instead, but it's not a big deal.

Alice is also lovely - also very classic/timeless, although a lot more popular than Julia (so it's possible she may not be the only one in her class if that matters).

Cici is very cute - as a nickname. Sorry but I think it's a bit insubstantial sounding as a given name, although Cecilia, Cecily etc are very nice (or use another C first name, with a C middle name to get Cici?)

Julia…beautiful name.

AnyaMoondial · 08/09/2021 05:46

I vote Julia.

Alice or Julia. Not Cici - hard to be taken seriously as an adult with that name.

BubbleCoffee · 08/09/2021 10:01

Julia is lovely, an underused classic.

Is Cici pronounced like See-See or Kiki?

I've seen this a lot. I actually know a senior woman in financial services called Cece ..... she's not very 'girly' either. Really helped me with using it as a nickname for our daughter.

Julia never liked Alice and don't care for Cici wouldn't mind it as a nickm
Name for cerys celia cecily etc but not on its own
