Cecelia thoughts...

Ivee4 · October 2012

So I threw out Cecelia to DH randomly and he kind of liked it. I am not sure how I feel. I sometimes love sometimes I am like eh. One plus is I asked DD if she liked it and she instantly started saying CeCe CeCe which is cute for a sib nickname. Thoughts please. Oh and DD is Juliet. I had wanted to stick with a Shakespeare theme but we are running low...

Cecelia....your breaking my heart...nope, still can't get past the song.

My name IRL is Jolene so I do think about the song. I have had Jolene sung to me at least once a month my entire life.

Love it, and I think it's gorgeous with Juliet. I once daydreamed about a Cecilia/Juliet sibset.

I'm neutral on it. I don't love it, but don't hate it either. I do think the nn CeCe is really cute though!

I love Cecilia, but I much rather it with this spelling. You can still use CeCe as a nn, but Cecelia looks weird to me.

This. I dislike the spelling you want to try.

To be honest I didn't realize I was spelling it wrong. I blame my IPhone. I typed in CeCe since DD was saying it and it filled in the rest. I assumed this was the correct way. I am not married to any spelling and generally go for most common or PC spelling. I wouldn't want my child to have to correct people her whole life.

I like Cecilia and think CeeCee is a cute NN when she is young. DH vetoed it though because in the song she is a ho bag. Too bad.

Love the name

LoCarb · October 2012

Love Cecelia. There is a girl in DD's class w/ this name and uses 'Sessy' as a nn spelled CeCe but not pronounced C.C.

Love love love Cecelia! And, by the way, I think it looks better spelled with an "e" as opposed to Cecilia.

I love love love Cecilia! DD was going to be Francesca or Cecilia...but became Josephine once we saw her :.

Cecilia is gorgeous and I also prefer this spelling. Great choice!

Cecilia is a gorgeous name, and is on my short list. I prefer it spelled Cecilia, but Cecelia is just as good, I think. Just personal preference.

How about Cordelia? Another of my faves. Shakespearean, and has lots of great nickname options!

I thought this exact thing. I love Cecilia, but Cordelia is my all time favorite girl's name.
