[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Mattias?

I love Mattias, but prefer it spelt Matthias. It sounds great with Andreas, but I don't think Cecily fits in. What are some of the German girl names that you do like? Personally I think Ingrid or Helene would go nicely with them, but you might not like?

I like Ingrid but my SO hates it. He likes very soft, feminine girls names. His favorites are Cecily, Elodie, Genevieve, Eliana. I seem to like a lot of French and English girls name. I love Rosalie (which is both German and French), but I dont know if I can bring myself to replace Cecily. The name is perfect to us and has a great deal of meaning, its our go to name for a girl. I understand that is isnt the best match with Andreas and Mattias, but I'm more concerned with how the name will fit my daughter and its hard to imagine her as anything but Cecily at this point.

Rosalie and Genevieve are WAY better than Cecily. Just think of the meanings.

I could really care less about the meaning of names. It is the farthest thing from my mind when selecting a name. I like Cecily for the Oscar Wilde play "The Importance of Being Earnest." Rosalie and Genevieve are beautiful but they dont have significant literary references to either of us.
