[Opinions] Celia or Cecilia?
Replies
There's always the French name, Cecile.
I find Cecilia a bit too frilly, therefore Celia.
Celia is a name in its own right
A name known from Shakespeare. I love both Celia and Cecilia, they are both beautiful classic names. And I would not use Celia as a nn for Cecilia. If I used a nn at all for Cecila, it would be Ceci or Lia.
If I lived in USA/UK/Canada/Australia/NZ, I think I would use Celia. In Sweden Cecilia is more known, but I think I would use an old Swedish form then, Sissela.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

I definitely prefer Cecilia; it's such a pretty name and has grown on me a lot recently. I think Celia is find on its own, but I'm not fond of it the way I am of Cecilia. Cecilia just sounds a lot more complete imo.

Celia!
Celia is of my absolute favorite names, and it is NOT just a nick name for Cecilia! Celia has its own history independent of Cecilia, and it really bugs me when people peg it as only a "nick name for Cecilia." Celia is lovely. Cecilia is fine, but that extra syllable seems a bit extrvagant to me.
Celia all the way.

I think both names are pretty but I perfer Celia.
Cecilia has a longer sound I think.
At first I thought Celia was a rather stuck-up name because of a girl I knew, and then I read a book about the Dunne family in Scotland with a daughter named Celia. Since then I've really liked it!
So I guess I like Celia better but Ceeilia is pretty too!
I also like Cecily! :)

Cecelia looks misspelt to me
To me, the correct international (and English) spelling is Cecilia. I think people get Cecilia and Celia mixed up, therefore this Cecelia.
