Celia is beautiful

JanesBlond · 19/06/2023 21:26

Cecilia (with an i) or Cecily. Isn’t Sisley a brand? Celia feels more dated.

Not Sisley!

User63847484848 · 19/06/2023 21:27

My favourite is Cecily personally

GMH1974 · 19/06/2023 21:27

Cecily is a pretty name

crumpet · 19/06/2023 21:27

Cecily or Celia

FatGirlSwim · 19/06/2023 21:28

Cicely!

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 19/06/2023 21:29

Cecelia is the only one I like. Celia is too dated and Sisley and Cicely are too flimsy for me (sorry!).

WateryDoom · 19/06/2023 21:29

Sisley sounds like some sort of rough carpet fibre! It's dreadful.

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 19/06/2023 21:30

*Cecily sorry, not Cicely. Also the ‘Ces’ just makes me think of a sess pool.

Marsyas · 19/06/2023 21:30

Cecily

honeyfox · 19/06/2023 21:30

I love Cecilie (as in Bahnsen).

Definitelysometime · 19/06/2023 21:32

Cecilia is v sweet. And can be Cici when little

CremeEggThief · 19/06/2023 21:32

I almost always prefer a variant of a name ending in 'a', but in this case, I like Cecily best. It's a sunny, cheerful sort of name.😍

LilyLemonade · 19/06/2023 21:33

I really love Celia. Think it is due a revival.

Velvian · 19/06/2023 21:33

I've always really liked Cecily. I think people would try to shorten though and it doesn't really shorten.

Lacoeur · 19/06/2023 21:33

I like Cecelia best.

overitunderit · 19/06/2023 21:33

I'm guessing you're trying to reverse engineer the nickname CiCi?

bobby81 · 19/06/2023 21:33

Cecily

iPreferBooks · 19/06/2023 21:35

Celia or Cecelia are nice :)
However, the first 2 names on the list initially made me think of the Italian city.

Friolero · 19/06/2023 21:35

I like Cecilia best, followed by Cecily.

Not keen on the other two.

MotherOfCatBoy · 19/06/2023 21:35

Cecelia! Because of the song. And she’s a patron saint of music!

SkaneTos · 19/06/2023 21:36

They are all lovely!
I have a relative named Sissela, which is similar, we are Scandinavian though.

That’s Cecilia.

I love Celia. There is a fabulous character in Middlemarch called Celia.

Also like Cecille.
