Cielle

[deedeexx]

hey guys. Recently came across this name and I've truly fell in love with it and I love that you can have CeCe as a nickname. Curious to as wether people would pronounce it right though.. it's pronounced See-El but I'm worried that people say Seal.. let me know thanks x

I’d say it how you would. I’m not sure how anyone would get Seal from that tbh.

I thought See-elle not seal. I've never heard the name and it stumped me for a minutes but I am sure most people could go with it

It sounds like a brand of bathroom cleaner! 😆😆

I read it as C-elle , my son went to nursery with a little girl called this 30 yrs ago . I like it , I don’t like cece.

isn't that the name of Lid's own brand leaning range?

It's not a very nice name.

I like Cece but Cielle sounds like a contraceptive pill.

Definitely sounds like a cleaning product.

Sierra, Sienna, Cecelia?

I imagine this is derived from the word ciel which is French for 'sky'? If so, it's worth pointing out that it isn't used as name in France so she might get some odd looks if she ever goes there.

If you like Cece would Cecelia, Cecily or Cicely not suit?

I've come across it before as a shorting of Gracielle - pronounced either S'yel (one syllable) or see-EL (two). I can kind of see Ciel being mispronounced as seal (by an English speaker), but not Cielle.

My first thought was that it sounds like a contraceptive pill.

Awful, like a cheap make-up brand name. I don't like CeCe either.

It doesn't sound like a "real" name to me. Could you have Cecile or Cecily instead if you really need to have CeCe as a nickname? Both beautiful names in their own right.

Sorry I’m not keen because it used as a brand name for a couple of things (? Skin care / clothes?) and it’s likely to have pronunciation and spelling issues.

It sounds like the Lidl cleaning brand.

I'd say it like "ciel", the French word for sky.

It's not a name. It's a bastardised spelling of the French word ciel. It's not a good name.

No keen

Cielle reminds of the Lidl cleaning brand as pp have said. And could also be a brand of sanitary products or similar

My first thought was “Lidl own-brand hand wash”

Sounds like a contraceptive pill

It's Cien, but yes that was my first thought too.

@YouDidntEvenAskIfSheWasThereMoriarty - I thought exactly the same thing!

There are other names that can have the nickname Cece. This name - Cielle - is awful in my opinion.

I first read it (granted whilst in a night feed) as chelle as in the shortened version of Michelle. I love CeCe as a nn but you would be condemning her to a life of spelling and pronouncing it for people

Are you actually called Deedee in real life OP? Because Deedee and Cece in the same family would be pretty awful. Your husband isn't Peepee by any chance?
