It's terrific

though I admit I kinda like Cecelia, because the American pronunciation (at least where I am) makes the second syllable a long E, sehSEELya, so that spelling just looks better to me. I know some people don't care for this name just because of the blindness thing, but I think that's silly. I also really love Claudia, even more in fact than Cecilia; but some people object to Claudia because it means "lame." I think Cecilia and Claudia would make a great sibset or even twin set. Blind and lame together!

I've always lumped the two names together, too, until recently. LOL. (I knew a Claudia that is now a recovering alcoholic, so I mostly think of her when I hear the name now.) Add in Cameron with his "crooked nose" and you've got a real interesting set right there! :b
