Re: Cecily or Cicely?
in reply to a message by hylo
Depends on the pronunciation, surely?
I'd use Cecily because Cecil is a family name on both sides; plus, I prefer the e sound to the i sound here.
Cecily Anne
Cecily Beatrice
Cecily Clare
Cecily Dorette
Cecily Eva
Cecily Frances (sounds lovely, but two fem forms of male names are two too many)
Cecily Giselle
Cecily Helen
Cecily Imogen
Cecily Jean
Cecily Karen
Cecily Margaret
Cecily Norah
Cecily Olwen
Cecily Prudence
Cecily Ruth
Cecily Susan
Cecily Therese
Cecily Valmae
Cecily Winona
