[Opinions] Re: Cecily/Cecilia/Cecile
in reply to a message by Sarai
Thanks! I also love Cecilia lots and lots... but with Anne it sounds weird. That's my problem. I reeeeeeeally want to use Anne with SOMETHING, but it doesn't go with my other favorite name (Olivia). Huh.
What do you think, if anything, would go with Cecilia as a mn? I have some relatives I want to use... maybe...
Bessie (don't like this, but maybe a variant?)
Anne
Alice
Kelly
Lillian
Pauline (meh, haven't found a variant I like yet)
Helen (don't like this, but maybe a variant)
Estelle (ditto)
Ruth (ditto)
Elaine
Sadie
Ola (this is where I got Olivia)
Wilma (maybe Willow?)
Jacob (I can use a bunch of these... Jay, Jane, etc.)
WDYT? If it's not *too* time-consuming... :-D

What about Celia/Cecilia Helene?
Me too. I chose Cecilia as my confirmation name ten years ago and I've loved it since then. Cecilia Anne just doesn't flow well because of the As at the end of Cecilia and at the beginning of Anne. Anne Cecilia flows very well, in my opinion. Not sure whether you wanted to use that as a mn, though.
Willow Cecilia makes an awesome combo. And Willow Anne. I love, love, love Willow. Lillian Cecilia's fab, too! Helen Cecilia's very pretty and classy sounding, IMO. Those are the ones I loved but here's a few more suggestions using the names you listed:
Kelly Anne
Estelle Anne
Sadie Anne
Bessie Anne (maybe Elizabeth or Bethany with Bessie as a nn?)
Pauline Anne
Olivia Anne (I think this makes a beautiful combo and Liv or Livia would make great nns, in my opinion)
Pauline Cecilia
Ruth Cecilia
Elaine Cecilia
Ola Cecilia
Wilma Cecilia
