Cecelia

I think the name sounds beautiful, though the meaning is kind of sad, not going to lie. Cecelia is also a character in the Hunger Games, though she's mentioned, like, twice.

This is fine ig but I would prefer Cecilia.

Was trendy in the 50s, terrible meaning & sound.

I prefer Cecilia but this makes such a good name if you want your daughter to go by Cece.

I like this spelling much better because it looks more organized and fits in with names like Amelia and Ophelia. Cecilia almost looks imbalanced in the letter sizes.

Edit: now I like Cecilia more but this spelling is still okay.

This is my name. Funny thing is, it actually was a typo and I was meant to be named Cecilia instead. But honestly, I do prefer this spelling between the two (variant spellings can either be hits or misses). It feels more "complete," in a way. Probably because it's literally my nickname + lia
The only bad thing about having this name (as well as Cece as a nickname) is that you'll almost always get a different spelling from everyone else you meet. If you don't want it misspelled, you'll always have to clarify beforehand. And that's frustrating. But if anyone wants to use it I do recommend it.

..I have glasses, but name meanings hardly ever matter.

Cecilia is much nicer.

Cecilia**

This is pretty.

This variant is okay, but I prefer Cecilia.

Cecelia is much prettier then Cecilia, and less common. Pronounced See-uh, Cia is a cute nickname.

I was named Cecelia by mom and she named me after my great- grandmother.

This is my confirmation name and I only recently realized (I've been confirmed for a few years) that on the certificate it says "Cecelia" instead of "Cecilia" which, even though it's not my legal name, I've been thinking was Cecilia all along. Now I'm kind of glad it's Cecelia because as other people mentioned the -cilia is a bit too "cell anatomy" for me.

I don't like this spelling, but that's just me because I always prefer the authentic spellings, and although Cecelia is not a stretch, Cecilia just looks more elegant.

I much prefer this spelling. It seems more intuitive to me, that Celia is spelled thus, and Cecelia should too. And as previous poster's commented, cilia is a biological term. I also agree that Cecelia is more intuitive spelling for the nickname Cece.
I also used to dislike this name, for me it was childish associations with it sounding like seals/sea lions. Of course now I don't think that! And it is on my short list as a possible name for my second daughter. It is sophisticated, pretty and meaningful name choice. Especially for Catholics and Christians who love music and singing!

This is one of my favorite girl names right now, although I used to hate the name. Now I love it, but only with the spelling Cecelia. I can't stand the Cecilia spelling. It is a beautiful name, though, and I'm not sure why I hated it so much!

I used to not like this name, but it's growing on me. I've only met one person named Cecelia, (although it might've been Cecilia, I like Cecelia a little more) and she went by cici, which I think is cute :)

I love this spelling! It looks so much more elegant to me. It's easier to pronounce for me as well. I sometimes want to read Cecilia as "Seh-sill-ee-uh" because of Cilia from Life Science. That's actually a really unpleasant association. Plus, I think this spelling lends itself better to nicknames like CeCe/Cece and Celia.

I like the spelling Cecilia so much better.

This spelling would never work where I live. To me it looks like it's pronounced seh-SEH-lee-ah instead of seh-SEE-lee-ah.

This name is graceful, it's so beautiful.

I prefer the spelling Cecilia. It is a very beautiful name.
