Please help us decide on a girls name!

[Thewildthingsarewithme]

We are no further on despite weeks of going back and forth, boys name is done but we can’t seem to get any closer with the girls. Names are below, the middle name will be one of these as well, please name our potential baby girl 😂

Emeline
Cecily
Aurora
Adeline
Theodora
Leonora
Celia

Theodora Cecily is my favourite.

Thanks so much for all the feedback I think we have narrowed it down a bit but still a bit stuck and trying to unsee cess pit for Cecily 😩

Cecily Aurora. Cecily has been my favourite name for some time.

If you'd like another suggestion for a middle name, Laetitia would be my choice.

Emmeline - pankhurst
Aurora - borealis
Adeline - adelie penguin/Aveline off Bread (I'm a model)
Theodora - The odora(ta). The pungent
Leonora - Lenor, Leonie
Celia - lips

Most of the names are long. Are you planning on using a short version?
Leonie is nice

Theodora Cecily is my favourite, with Aurora Cecily as a close second.

Cecily is a great middle name!

Cecily

Emeline - lots of similar names about, and the unusual spelling will be a PITA for her
Cecily - lovely, as is Cecile
Aurora - gone a bit Disney
Adeline - I think Adela or even Adelaide are nicer versions.. there are a lot of Adas about though
Theodora - done to death
Leonora - I love it but there are so many boy Leos (and Theos) around it might feel a bit overdone
Celia - ok but Cecilia much prettier

Also maybe..

Verity
Cassia
Claudia
Caroline
Alicia
Allegra
Dorothea

Aurora Emmeline

I think we’ve narrowed it down to Cecily/Celia/Cecile/Cecilia
Leonora
Emmeline/Emeline - I don’t mind the French spelling, I lived there for years, my eldest speaks the language, we spend a lot of time there and I think the name is unusual enough that most people will spell it wrong anyway!
we like the nicknames Leo/Nora/Rory/ emmie/mila/Millie/CeCe
thanks so much for the helpful and not so helpful criticism it is really narrowing them down!

Deliberately so, @Thewildthingsarewithme , because it would be a bit awful if you named your child something only to find that other kids poked fun at the name (e.g. decided to call Orla Oral or Lana Anal)

Cecile is pretty.

@MerryChristmasToYou arguably you could say that of any name though if you were determined to! I think other than something terribly obvious you just have to go with it or you’d have nothing left to name them, if children are going to be cruel they will be cruel regardless of a name and you are better helping your children to be kind and confident individuals who can bat off the comments, and also I think safely assume most kids don’t know what cess pits are 😉

They do where I come from.
I can think of a few nicknames based on names that are awful but some were at workplaces not playgrounds.

I agree about the assertiveness and confidence.
If you are in France or have french family, Aurora will sound quite different.

Leonora Emmeline
Theodora Emmeline
Cecily Theodora
Celia Theodora
Emmeline Aurora

I like Cecilia, Celia and Cecily best. All of the others are a bit too frilly for my taste, though Emmeline and Theodora are nice. Aurora is by far my least favourite.

Cecily Emmeline
Celia Theodora

I love Adeline. Maybe Adeline Theodora

Aurora Celia is nice x

@theduchessofspork I love Claudia!

We have similar taste. One of my DDs has one of the names on your list.

Aurora is v pretty but too Disney princess for me.
I prefer the Emmeline spelling.

Also like these which are in the same vein:
Adelaide
Cecilia
Eleanora
Elena
Juliet(te)
Marianne
Genevieve
Paloma

I really like Emeline, Adeline and Cecille.
Cecily is ok. Not keen on Aurora (find it a mouthful to say - you might also like Aurelia?), Theodora and Leonora are too long for my tastes (do love Norah though). Celia feels dated - much prefer Cecille.

Overall, I'd go for Emeline Cecille!

i love Theodora, Leonora and Emmeline from that list

Leonora Emiline is my choice.

Emeline - prefer Emmeline spelling, lovely name
Cecily. - pretty, also Cecelia
Aurora - not keen
Adeline - not keen
Theodora - pretty
Leonora - not keen
Celia - not keen

@rainingsnoring these are lovely, I particularly like Eleanora thank you

I actually really love Celia - it’s simple and elegant.

If I were an unnamed baby, I'd hate to get landed with the name Leonora. Ugh, so frumpy.

I'd also loathe Emmeline, and all the nicknames. CeCe is so arch. Nora is just awful.

I'd be ok with Cecilia. There are much better names out there so just choosing within the narrow parameters.
