Clelia for a girl?

[RedRobintweets]

Hey all,

What do you think of this name for a baby girl?

Pronounced as Cleh-Leah , with emphasis on the first syllable.

Honestly, it sounds like you'd have a speech impediment

This

It looks like you’ve misspelled celia

I agree with the PPs.

How about Claudia, Celia (see-leah), cecilia, lila etc?

I assumed a typo for Celia (which I love) and it’s a right mouthful to say.

Whilst it sounds ok, it looks like a typo for Celia.

Really, really awful, and makes me picture female genitalia for some reason.

I prefer Celia

or Cecilia

Clelia looks strange and sounds like a spot cream.

No. It sounds like an STD.

How about Clea?

Same

Clelia should be pronounced in the beginning with “K” like Cleo, not “S” like Cecilia.

Does it sound that bad…?!

I think it's because it sounds like "clit" crashed into "labia"? IDK.

I absolutely love this name. I've only ever seen it in a book (Jerusalem the Golden by Margaret Drabble).

Sounds like a typo or an std. Celia and Cecelia are great. Leah is ok. Why mess with it? And I speak as someone whose son has an Irish name which never gets spelt correctly. He calls himself Fred in Starbucks…

I like it. There is/was an actress in an Irish soap named Clelia.

It sounds wrong . Is it a name or have you made it up ?

Celia is a nice name . As is Claudia

Nah.

Looks like a typo. Hard to pronounce.

Yes

I agree with all comments above.

Celia yes. Clelia no. Don't do it OP. Be original with something else, but not her name.

It’s a real Italian name…

Feels like I've got a swollen tongue when I try to say it.

It’s pronounced slightly different than how you have explained . It’s a shorter sound than ‘Leah’.

I also thought of that body part 🙈🙉 it just sounds so awkward too
