Isn’t that Preseli?

Must be, surely.

I like Celia or (and I know this isn’t one of your options) Cicely. A friend has a daughter named Selena which I think is similar and also lovely.

Cecily for me - I really wanted it for my second DD but husband vetoed it last minute!

Surname would be Froud and sibling is a Toby

I do like Cecilia and think it goes with the other names. Congratulations btw

Cecilia with an i. That's the original spelling. Cecelia just seems to be for the people easily confused that Cece can come from Cecilia.

Cecily but spelt Cecilie

Cecilia if spelt this classic way is so lovely looking and lyrical sounding and so would my top pick I think.

But Shakespearean Celia would be my very close second choice - a great match with Toby (which was also used by Shakespeare, although not quite a flattering a character!), plus Celia has a lovely meaning and no spelling issues as a bonus.

Nothing wrong with Cecily either, I just don't like it as much as the other two. Please don't use Sisley though! Grin

I like Cecily or Cecelia/Cecilia
As for other suggestions: I think Cassia is nice
