[mimimimi]

hi,
what do you think of

cecilia

hannah

letizia

seraphina

felicia

thanks very much

cecilia

Glad you said it Naily. I would be more worried about that than the letters titi appearing in the middle of the name too.

Love Felicity too - tis on our possibles list if this one is a girl.

thanks everyone,
seems like cecilia ist the favourite one so far...

Tis my third born's, and she is the archetypal Sunday child. Not a fat hairy lady at all.

Serafina sounds prettiest, looks like name of a prescription drug, tho.

that one is my niece's name...

cecelia is fantastic, wishing hadn't used it as dd2's mn so we could use it for this one if pink

love nickname Cece too!

prefer felicity to felicia

not a fan of leticia sorry

hannah, alright but doesn't shine like cecelia imo

serephina is ok but imo trying a little to hard?

Hannah's the nicest.Although every other girl in dd2's class is called it!

Felicia, Cecilia, Hannah, and Seraphina all really lovely.

Letizia I'm not sure of.

I'm looking for girls' names too - DH doesn't like anything I suggest and has no counter-suggestions of his own!

cecilia - lovely. Love Cecily and Celia as well.

hannah - lovely but rather overused atm, I think.

letizia - don't like it. Lettice is nice although rather poncey.

seraphina - lovely.

felicia - lovely and terrific meaning. Also like Felicity.

Cecelia is nice - but prefer Cecily.

Hannah is nice - but if you're bothered, there are a lot of them.

If you're bothered about the titi, then I wouldn't go for Lettice - much more teaseable I would think!

Felicity's lovely.

Seraphina would be pretty hard to live up to when your're a spotty lumpen adolescent!

cecilia - I like but I prefer Cecily, which I love.

hannah - ok but dull. Anna is prettier, the Hs just spoil the Anna imo, Annabel is a bit more interesting again.

letizia - no. nmsaa, bless your heart.

seraphina a/a

felicia - no. Some people like Felicity and that's their taste, but Felicia is nmsaa, bless your heart ma'am. I am trying to be polite now.

Hatrick, are you Vanessa Feltz??? Her dds are Allegra and Saskia. Both gorgeous names imo.

I also love Claudia and Thea.

OP you should let Hatrick name your child.

thanks very much, everyone!
i should maybe add that i want the name to work in italian and german, too -so quite a difficult task!
that's also the reason for the preferred spelling letizia (italian/spanish.
was interested to read that a lot of you think of seraphina as rather poncey - would that apply to all the names or are some of them better than others in that respect (hannah, obviously?!)

what about Saffron,
I think Seraphina is too much for my taste.

The fact that you put Hannah in suggests that you have a wide variety of names that you like, thats why I suggested Saffron.

Seraphina is not just a little poncey it's too ecclesiastical to boot!

Hannah is a little dull imo, although I do like Anna

Saffron is nice. I like Amber, but I think that saffron and Amber are a little 80s sounding. I could be wrong about that.

Seraphina is wonderful! It's unusual but because of the angel seraphins connections it sounds familiar & divine.

Cecilia has always reminded me of celeac (sp) disease ;-)

Serafina is nicer than Seraphina IMO
not sure why

She is the dd of Charlie Watts (schoolfriend of SIL's)

Don't much care for the rest
Cecilia is ok but I can only hear simon and garfunkel's whingey song! Cecily prettier.. or cecile

Of the list in OP I prefer Hannah of all of them.

Celia nicer than Cecilia
Hannah OK
Letizia = Spanish (wife of Crown Prince?) - English equiv is Lettice (noooo)

Seraphina -

Felicia - is a Skoda

HTH

hannah and seraphina are OK. Not keen on the others.
