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

If you'd like to try outside the existing list I'd suggest

Sibylla
Venetia

Surely a matter of taste though @RogueFemale as I’d really rather not have been called Venetia but thank you! I did like Sybille but we’ve narrowed a bit since then

I suggested Sibylla not Sybille.

Fine if you don't like it. Of course it i entirely a matter of taste. If you don't want other people's taste then quite strange to ask for it on a forum.

Oh absolutely but then of course it’s entirely reasonable to respond in kind to suggestions no 😊

I like Adeline and Cecelia the most

Emeline - nice (I prefer two ems)
Cecily - lovely, apart from 'Cess' as a diminutive
Aurora - difficult to say
Adeline - no
Theodora - maybe
Leonora - maybe
Celia - love it

Another vote for Adeline Theodora or Theodora Adeline.

I think I'd pick Cecily Leonora or Leonora Cecily.

I love Emeline/Emmeline too.

Emmeline is lovely but will constantly get misheard as Emily, it feels more popular when you add in Emily/Emma/Emme. I love adaline - you could have Ada or Addie as a nickname but the full name is so pretty.

Aurora looks lovely written down but I find it quite hard to say (and you really do need to consider accent) and impossible to shout.

At some point you will need to stop your toddler reaching for a hot cup/ whacking a toy over the baby so being able to say a name with the correct tone is important. Not to mention all the times you stand trying to get their attention in soft play.

Saying them all aloud and at different volumes is a good test.

I like Cecily Emmeline or how about Elenora instead of Leonora. Elenora Cecily?

I’m not a fan of Theodora, Leonora or Aurora (I guess I’m just not a fan of names ending in “ora”).

I really like Adeline if I had to just pick one.

Emmeline, Leonora & Aurora are all lovely.

Emmeline Cecilia
Leonora Emmeline

are my favourites.

Love Adeline-it’s my ex MIL’s name and she’s a lovely lady

Oh dear, wish I could say I like any of them. Emmeline & Adeline makes me think of ointment & disinfectant & cecili is too like Cecil an old mans name. Aurora, hope there's no difficulty pronouncing R
Leonora (Nora virus) Theodora (would be shortened) Celia, too like celiac

I expect to get flack for this but it's food for thought & I'm being honest. As long as your happy with your choices OP thats all that matters. I'm just sharing my thoughts & you did ask.

From those names I think I would go for Leonora Cecily

It's Norovirus, and flak.

From your list I like Cecily, Emeline (though definitely prefer Emmeline) and Adeline.

Madeline
Marianne
Eleanor
Leonie
Angelina
Cressida

Also these are a bit religious for me and possibly a bit out there but as you are looking at 'ine' names I kind of like

Evangeline
Coventina
Benedictine

My eldest went to school with a Cecily. It sounds nothing like cess pit. It’s pronounced more like Sicily, they were Italian so I always presumed it was an Italian name. But also no children called her cess pit 😂

Previously someone suggested Eleanora I prefer that to Leonora.
Celia
Eleanora
With Cecily little ones will say silly older ones will say cess.
Adeline is nice 👍

Cecily is LOVELY and would be perfect with a single syllable surname. I’d call my daughter Cecily Bean. Theodora is my dog’s name.

Sorry, flack can be a form of gunfire which can also be used in criticism as can flak (look it up)
I'm aware its norovirus, a new line and bracket seperated the word.

Typo Separated, no doubt more flaK 🤣

Now doubting all names and considering going back to the drawing board 😂
