Re: Cecilia
in reply to a message by Bex
I prefer Cecily. It still gives you the musical reference, and it looks and sounds neater and tidier. Though there is the Simon and Garfunkel song ... I knew a car named Cecilia once; it kept letting its owner down! And, unlike Cecily, Cecilia does have a rather whiney sound.I prefer Cecily Wilhelmina Stewart or Cecily Augusta Stewart. And I think either sounds wonderful with Theodora and Hermione. If you asked Theodora which she prefers, I wonder what she'd say. She's old enough to have preferences, which need not be binding on you.

I love the Simon and Garfunkel song so it's a bonus :)
I asked her tonight which name she liked and she said she liked all of them but liked Cecilia best which was surprising!

My son, then aged nine and a half, tried to persuade me to name his sister either Odette or Odile! He had of course been watching Swan Lake on TV ... and of course I didn't fall for his charm.
