HelpRe: Cecil / Cyrus
in reply to a message by Flute
Prn. SEH-sil does make it more up-to-date for me. SEE-suhl reminds me of my great uncle who I LOVE, but who is very old. Cyrus is ok but I wouldn't us it.
The feminine versions: Cecilia, Cecile, Celia and Cecily are my fave.

I love Cecilia, Cecile, Celia and Cecily, too. Especially Celia and Cecily.
But I just thought I'd point out that Celia, despite its similarity in sound to Cecilia, is not a variant. Both Celia (and Celeste) derive from a different root than Cecil / Cecilia / Cecily, meaning blind. Celia and Celeste are from a Latin word meaning celestial / heavenly.
