HelpIt baffles me too
in reply to a message by Hannah Ruth
A lot
Cecilia nn Cecily is fake though. Very dishonest and contrived. I do not condone it.
...But yeah, it really baffles me how much you continue to hate Cecilia! Still! Maybe it is just because I am going through a major love affair with Cecilia right now, but really. Do you hate it more and more every time you shortlist it?
And I am sorry if I am a bit confused, but how is Cecilia at all now? It is VERY old to me, that is a large part of its (immense and ever-expanding!) appeal. It fits in okay well enough with today's trends, but... I mean, check out its charts. http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?extra=p&terms=cecilia&submit=Go That's a steady name if I've ever seen one. The reason I think it's not climbing along with Isabella and Adriana and Eliana is because of its whininess. Cecilia is such a rebel name to me. A real princess name, whininess, irritating double C, irritating emphasized eeeeeee sounds that no Isabella's mother would ever go for. Unless Isabella had a good sensible mother! And she may! Cecilia and Isabella would make magnificent sisters, wouldn't they? ... that does not help my point at all. my point is this: Cecilia is not "now." She is counter-now. It takes guts to use Cecilia. Cecilia is all of the elements of today's princessflower tend that the princessflowermothers are afraid of. Real femininity. How many languages can we say Cecilia in? How many centuries has it been around? How many parents would dare name their kid something that whiny?
"Now"? How is it "now"?

Really, I can understand disliking it for a long time, but after having shortlisted it for so long, do you REALLY have to continue to cling to your dislike of it? Is it that important to you? Especially when there are so many great qualities about it?
