Help me decide between two names please!

[21redroses]

Hi everyone, I am expecting a baby girl and have narrowed my name list down to 2 names which I love equally! Please help me decide!

Winslow nn Winnie
Cecelia nn Cece

At this point I’m wishing it was twins just so I can use both! How do I decide?!

Pick ... Cecelia - also known as CeCe. Beautiful.

Winslow is awful. Sorry @21redroses

Winslow is awful! My mind instantly goes to Onslow or Wilmslow. Winnie is not a good nickname either, Winnie the Pooh, old ladies etc come to mind!

Cecilia is beautiful (and my middle name!) she’s the patron saint of music. Ceci/Cece is a sweet nickname too.

Winslow? Dear God, no. And I can't bear Winnie.

Cecilia is pretty - that's the usual (and nicer, IMO) spelling. You could still use Cece as the diminutive.

Winslow is awful anyway, and absolutely sodding awful for a girl. Horrible. Makes me think of a commuter town like Slough. The sofa analogy is spot on - in fact I think I saw a range of carpets named Winslow recently.

Cecilia needs to be spelt correctly or she will have a lifetime of saying "my mum wanted it to be yoooonique"

Cecelia is my favourite

Winslow makes me think of a boy at boarding school being summoned by a teacher "Winslow"and not overly in love with Winnie

If you like Winnie, could it be short for Winsome? Lovely meaning too.

If Cecilia, spell it this way which is much prettier (and correct!)

Winnie is awful - as others have said Winnie the Pooh or whinny like a horse. I like Winifred but would call a girl Fred like in angel!

Cecilia isn't nice to say but cece is the best of your choices.

I much prefer Cecilia but you obviously love both. Wait until she’s born.

Cecilia is lovely - very pretty and not a name commonly heard. As previous posters have said, please spell it correctly though.

When I see it spelt Cecelia I just see “Coeliac” for some reason. Or “cillia” or “caecum” - just far too many words related to biology and health 😂

But Winslow????? That’s a hell no! 😬😬

Definitely go for Cecilia and I really like CeCe (pronounced see-see) as a nickname too.

Congratulations on your upcoming daughter!

I mean Cecelia wouldn't make my top 10, but it is okay and it, at least, a name.

Winslow ???

I wouldn't call a child anything that naturally shortened to Winnie either, with the clear invitation to be called Poo(h) all their life.

Cecelia, although I think it looks better spelt with two i's Cecilias.

Winslow is absolutely awful. Winnie is very frumpy too. Not so keen on Cecelia, but 100% better than Winslow!

Cecelia

Please don't name your daughter Winslow. Winnie /Winona/Winnifred all fine.

Cecelia is a lovely name. Not a fan of Winslow.

Do not call your baby Winslow!
Or Winnie

Cecilia (spelled like this)

Winslow is the name of a place, not a human. Why would you like it for your baby?? Winifred is at least a name, though horrendous. Winter is not bad,don't mind that.

Cecilia spelled like that is really nice. I think of the Simon and Garfunkel song. I would pick that. Or Cecily is a pretty alternative.

Cecilia. But prefer Celia.

Cecilia or Celia.

Winslow sounds like a boy's name, I looked up the meaning it is friend's hill or burial ground!
