I don't think I made a lot of sense when I said that. IMO, Lilac Cecelia has too much "C" sound in it, making it a hard-sounding name. That's contradictory, though, because the name sounds feminine to me. I don't think I've actually manged to explain at all. Basically, Lilac and Cecilia are very feminine names, but the name as a whole had a hard sound, which...surprised me? Confused me? It just sounded a little strange.

Yes, I am referring to Dorian Gray! Sorry that wasn't clear. I'm a bit obsessed with Oscar Wilde, so though I love Dorian and Basil, hearing the two names together is as funny to me as naming your kids Isolde and Tristan, or Arthur, Guenivere and Lancelot. One name is great, two makes me giggle like mad.

You're welcome! I'm glad I made you laugh. My favourite part of making YSYTs is hearing people's amusing responses.
