Celia
Celia is a name I've been liking a lot lately - I love that it's connected to the Latin word caelum which means heaven. Opinions? Thoughts?
How do you pronounce it? SEE-lee-ah or SEH-lee-ah?
Celia or Cecilia? Which name do you prefer?
And about middle names... so far I have Celia Jane, Celia Joy and Celia Maeve. Anything you like? I'm open to suggestion, of course. Would any of them go well with (hypothetical) sister Liora Noelle?
Thanks in advance.

I like Celia, despite the fact that it reminds me of cilia. I pronounce it SEE-lee-ah. I do prefer Cecilia, it seems prettier to me.
I like all the names, but Celia Maeve is most intriguing to me. It's more different than Celia Jane / Joy. I love Liora Noelle, and I think Liora and Celia or Liora and Cecilia work nicely together.

I pronounce it SEEL-yah, even when I'm not speaking quickly. Celia Jane and Celia Joy are both beautiful. Maeve's not bad either. Other suggestions would be:
Celia June
Celia Lorraine
Celia Ruth
Celia Rae
Celia Violet
Celia Truth
Celia Evelyn
Celia Damaris
Celia Felicity (maybe too many c's and i's and l's)
Celia Glory
Celia Louise
Celia Irene (I think this is beautiful)
Celia Hope
Celia Iris (ditto on whoever already suggested this)
Celia Josephine
Celia Juliet
Celia Kate
Celia Lavender
Celia Lyric
Celia Mercy
Celia Miriam
Celia Rachel
Celia Rebekah

I love Celia (three syllables)and its meaning. I also like Celina. I definitely prefer Celia to Cecilia and I like all of the mns you've mentioned. It's hard to choose one. I also like combos such as Celia Claire, Celia Charlotte, Celia Catherine, Celia Caroline and Celia Corinne. There's something about C.C. initials that I think is really cute.
I love Celia! Though I do prefer it as a nn for Cecilia. And I like it pron. SEEL-ee-ah. Of the combos, I love Celia Jane and Celia Maeve and think they would go really well with Liora Noelle.
Some combos:
Celia Joan
Celia Helen/Helene
Celia Therese
Celia Marguerite
Celia Margaux
Celia Ariel
Celia Lucinde
Celia Rosamund
Celia Lillian
Celia Dawn
I also love Cecile.

I really love Celia. I tend towards the SEE-lee-ah prn, but it turns into SEEL-yah when I say it fast. I love it because it is an anagram of my sister Alice's name and I also like the nn Cece. I quite prefer it to Cecilia now.
I like Celia Joy and Celia Maeve.
Celia is so much fun to make combos with!
Some of mine:
Celia Pomona
Celia Juliet
Celia Delphine
Celia Augusta
Celia Iris
Celia Rosalind- as mentioned by Array to me. It is probably too much, but so pretty!
Celia Florence
Celia Pascale
Celia Niamh
Celia Josephine
Celia Lucretia
Indebted to Bear for these ones:
Celia Francisca
Celia Ines
Celia Adelina
Celia Alicia
Celia Beatriz
Celia Benedita
Celia Efigenia
Celia Elisabete
Celia Eufemia
Celia Eugenia

I forgot to say in my original post I think Celia Jane is pretty and Celia Maeve is gorgeous! (I may have to steal it from you.hee.hee)
feel free to steal it! haha
Thanx!!!
I pronounce Celia as CEEL-yah. I think it's wonderful--I think of the character in As You Like It, who was just too cute for words in the production I saw.
Celia Jane appeals the most to me. Other ideas:
Celia Violet
Celia Joan
Celia Christine
Celia Fern
Celia Prudence
Celia Lucy
Celia Beatrice
Celia Thomasin / Celia Thomasine
Celia Edith
Celia Blanche
