Help[Opinions] Re: Basil
in reply to a message by Mildred
I like Basil. I can't really picture it on a baby or a little boy, but I guess Baz I can. Basil Edward and Basil Henry would be nice, but I suppose you'd want two middle names? I'm afraid I'm not good at making those sorts of combos. The only thing I'd be afraid with Basil as the twin of Beatrice is they're both B names.
Cecil is nice too, but I pronounce it SEES-ul.

How?
LOL, I've never even thought about pronouncing Cecil SEES-ul, it's so awkward! I think it's horrible if pr. SEES-ul, honestly. SESS-il works much better, imho. ;)

That's how all the Cecils I know pronounce it.
And sess is really not a nice sound to me at all. Reminds me of cesspools.

Sees-ul sounds much more natural and classier than Sess-il.
Although I prn. Cecilia like Sess-eel-ee-uh.

I say SEE-sull. There is a county near where I grew up called Cecil County and that is how it is said. SESS-ull is a little less severe though; I agree.
