Re: Cecilia
in reply to a message by Ailis
I love this name, i wish i was brave enough to give it to a daughter if i have one, but i think as a teen at least, she wouldn't like it.Celia is nice, i know a Cecilia who goes by C.C. (but her last name is a C name as well) but i really like Cissy or Cila. Hope this helps :D

Why do you feel a daughter would hate this as a teen? I think most teens want to be be unique while also fitting in the crowd. A name a way to be unique. I know teens that changed and insisted on being called something more interesting than their given name. I think this is a perfectly lovely name and you should use it. I like the nns Celia, Celie, and Cila is ok but makes me think of Scylla and Charibdis from the Odyssey which were giant monsters. I do not like C.C. but you could use it because there are 2 Cs in the name. Cissy reminds me of a sissy person and it rhymes with prissy which would be a quality I wouldn't want someone to have.
