Cecily Westward - perfect! I would be so pleased to meet a little girl with this name. I'd immediately think she was destined for great things!

Cecily. Arabella is a spoiled little rich girl having a tantrum because she wants another horse.

Arabella goes better with your surname. Plus, Cecily is MY daughter's name.

arabella

lowrib · 12/04/2010 23:06

Another vote to wait until she's born and see which one suits best.

shockers · 12/04/2010 23:13

Cecily... it's lovely

Arabella does go well with your surname but it makes me think 'precocious'.

Arabella, I would have had this or Annabel for my DD but not possible with our surname, it goes beautifully with yours.
