Love it!!

---

I have always loved Celie. It's way better than Cecile.

---

I always planned on naming a daughter Cecilia and calling her Celie.

Celie rocks because of The Color Purple . And I prefer simple, no-frills Celie to Celia, Cecilia, or Cecily. Those are the names of brats.

I prefer Celie to Cecile but overall, I love Celia. I fully understand personal associations, though.

It's difficult to set The Color Purple aside when it's my only association with the name, but I'll try. I wouldn't be particularly pleased to meet a little Celie. It sounds too much like a nickname for my tastes, and it fits in too well with one of my least favorite trends--meaningless, lightweight, "bell tones"...the Breelys, Kaylees, and the like.

I much prefer Cecile.

Well, The Color Purple is the only place I've seen Celie, so that's probably the first thing I'd think of.
I prefer Celie as a nn for something. I'd like it as a nn for Cecile. If it was just a choice between Celie and Cecile as full names, I'd opt for Cecile.
Celie Jane is the first combo I thought of.

I love Celie, albeit only as a nickname for Cecile / Cecilia / Celia; moreover, The Color Purple inspired my fondness for the name.
