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

It makes me think of the Lidl Cien products as other people have mentioned.

I thought exactly the same.
I say it like you do.

Another one thinking it sounds like the name of a contraceptive pill!

Sorry OP, I immediately thought of the Lidl brand too.

My first assumption was that it said Celie like in The Color Purple. Then I reread and did decide it was probably See-EL.

sounds like a cleaning product, maybe cicely or cecelia?

I don’t especially love the name (not my taste) but I think it’s perfectly fine. I know one and I think most people get the pronunciation right AFAIK. Plus there is far more variety in names now, so an unusual one is not a big deal for a kid imo ( unless it sounds like something rude/very teaseable but Cielle isn’t 🤷‍♀️)

I said it out loud before opening the thread and yes, it came out not that different from 'seal' from me.
As a pp said, sort of S'yel which in my accent comes out as seal.

I don’t see how it could sound like Seal - the “Elle” sound at the end (just like in Michelle) is pretty clear/emphasised. I suppose some might say “Sy-Elle” instead of “See- Elle” but either way, I wouldn’t think of Seal.
