Sicily for a girl?

[DawnieOwl]

I'm a big fan of this but not sure if it's a bit too cliche being a region of Italy. Thoughts?

Cicely is nice. Very Victorian.

Sicily is a bit Sopranos.

Although there is nothing wrong with the name, I personally am not keen, but, if you do use it, please spell it like the girl's name, with a C.

Cicely is too much of a pain. 95% of people that person meets will call them Sy-silly which doesn’t sound good and isn’t the actual name you want.

CEcily - not sure if that’s a derivative of Cecil. It’s not great sounding. Sess-illy.

Celia, Cecilia, Celine? Selena? Serena? Selene? Sissy? Cece?

No
It's a place name

Why is it beyond ridiculous? You have Florence, Siena, Roma

Sicily.... interesting history, the mafia and an active volcano?

Hm, not sure that would bode well!

I love Cecily it reminds me of a character in What Katie Did.

She'll get a lot of 'Don't be Si Silly!'

Cicely is an old fashioned girls name and I think it’s beautiful!

Beautiful name but I would consider spelling it "Cicely" or "Cecily"

Cecily.
Even they they get called cissy or silly.

I think it's too close to Cecily.

It's one thing having a place name, but another when it's really close to being an actual name.

Cecily is a horrible name though. But better than Sicily.

Imagine if she can't pronounce her S's!

It sounds pretty and is so unique. I love it.

I much prefer Cicely, but for balance, I actually have a Sicily on my family tree from many years ago!

No

I would not use Sicily as a name. Too geographical. Try Cecily instead.

Sicily is the name of a place, Cecily is the name of a girl.

My daughter knew a Cecily at PS. She was known as Sissy. Not my taste, really.

I'd spell it Cicely - nice name (not one I'd personally choose)

Or possibly Cecily - I pronounce that differently, but in some accents/speech habits it comes out the same (just as Cecil can be "sisil" for the old-fashioned posh)

Agree with the others.

Cecily, Cicely or Cecilia, yes. Sicily, no.

Wtf 😂

Hmm (I'm not a fan of place names)
How about 'Cecelia' (as in the old Simon & Garfunkel song) or Selina ?

It's 'Cicely'. Better to use the proper spelling.

I used to know a Cicely, she would be over 100 now. She used to get called Cici for short, which I think is quite nice.
