Nancy, Cecily & Connie

[Spink]

I've done my boy's name survey, now it is time for girls!!

what do you think? Middle name will be Anne after dh's ma.

Ooh, you see now I am confused. I think Connie is off the list, and I really like Nancy, but see what people mean about the Nancy Anne thing and we are definitely having Anne.

Cecily is a new addition to the list so just getting used to it and I love it.. but then yesterday I had the irrational preg fear that it would be awful if little Cecily had a lisp...

Spink - when we were little my sister Sarah had a lisp, and I couldn't pronounce my "R's" (I'm Rachel). Fortunately, we both grew out of it!

I've got a Cecily. Dh was concerned that people would call her Cess Pit but they don't. She is named after Cecily Parsley (Beatrix Potter), St Cecilia and Cecily from The Importance of Being Earnest. And also a nice girl called Cecily that I knew at the time, who played the cello.

i wanted Cecily but dh vetoed it.

I like Connie or Nancy.

Nancy is a derivative of Ann, was my grandmothers name. Old fashioned now, but uncommon enough and (i think) very pretty, but cheeky IFSWIM. If you are going to have Ann as a middle name then the other two are lovely.

Cies.... now you see, Nancy from S&A and Nancy Drew would be what would persuade me to do it!

... and Nancy Mitford too..

Nancy Astor. The name is kinda light-hearted but strong too..

Cecily has too many S sounds for me, although I don't dislike it, it's elegant but a littletoo hissy. Verity is in the same style but much prettier IMO.
