WDYTO Cecily?
What do you think of the name Cecily? I've liked it for a while now, but am not sure if I would ever actually use it.Also, WDYTO the sibset Beatrice, Cecily, and Lily?
Is the sibset Beatrice, Edith / NN Edie, and Lily better?

I LOVE Cecily!!I find it absolutely beautiful, but I am in the same boat that you are in. I don't know if I would actually use it.For your sibset, the only problem would be that Lily and Cecily both end in -ily, which would bug me, but if that's ok with you than I love the names

I like Cecily, alot actually. though I think it sounds a bit nicknamey to be a first name. I think it'd work nicely as a nn for Cecilia.

I actually knew a girl named Cecily when I was a teenager. Hard to believe that was almost 15 years ago. Her parents were ahead of their time in names.

I love Cecily. It's among my top girl names.I love it with Beatrice, but not with Lily. (I don't like that they both end in -ily.)I think the sibset is better with Edith.

I think Cecily is a cute name. It's probably not something I'd ever use, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing it on someone else's daughter. Overall, though, I must admit that I prefer Cecilia.I don't like Beatrice at all (so dated imo). Cecily and Lily are too rhymey for sisters, in my opinion (when I say them, they just seem really close in sound).I think Beatrice, Edith, and Lily works better, only because it's not so rhymey. But, I definitely prefer Cecily over Edith (which is also very dated imo).

It's okay. It's worlds better than Cecilia, which I loathe, but I don't love it. I hate Beatrice and Lily and Cecily are too rhymey in a sibset.Beatrice, Edith "Edie" and Lily makes a better sibset but I hate Edith / Edie.

Cecily is nice, but Cecily and Lily are too rhymey to be in a sibset together imo. I like Edith nn Edie, and I think it fits well with Beatrice, but I don't think Lily fits in there very well. Maybe it's just because I'm not a fan of Lily, though.

Concidering I'm due with a little Cecily in a few weeks, I would say I'm quite fond of the name. :)Lily and Cecily are too cutesy in a sibset, what about Lillian or Lilith nn Lily? Edith sounds a little harsh and still slightly too dated to fit with Beatrice (which I love) and Lily, imo. Beatrice and Cecily work well together.Edited because I accidentally posted mid sentence.

Cecily is beautiful. If you use this, dont use Lily. Too many "ilys" in it. Im not crazy about Beatrice and Edith

I love Cecily. I also love Edith and Beatrice. Lily is too overused and popular for me to like.I think the sibset should be Beatrice, Cecily, and Edith. :-)
