Cecilia, as it's one of my favorite names. The meaning, "blind," isn't a bad one. Especially if you think about it. The saint was also an amazing woman.

Cecily I don't like. I don't know why, I just don't like it. It seems...prissy.

I prefer Cecilia because of the song by Simon & Garfunkel

I like both but prefer Cecilia. It feel more complete and romantic.

Cecilia. Cecily is okay I suppose, but Cecilia just feels more beautiful, and elegant.

I would use Cecilia as a middle name. Maybe Yvette Cecilia, Beatrix Cecilia, Jane Cecilia or something.

I prefer Cecily.

But only slightly. It feels more refined and international. I'm feeling Cecilia Juniper today.

Cecily, definitely. It's so happy sounding. :0)

Cecilia is a bit snooty.

Cecilia is longer and more complicated, and less English, than Cecily. And the unfortunate tendency to spell it Cecelia curdles my blood. I love the Simon and Garfunkel song, but I love Cecily more; and then there's The Importance of Being Ernest.

Since my parents were Beatrice and Cecil, I'd want to use Cecily Beatrice Anne. A name I'd have been happy to have myself.

I prefer Cecily, I think it has an antique charm to it and it makes me think of rose gardens and the English countryside. My partner prefers Cecilia which I do also like, and hates Cecily, so in real life I would be more likely to use Cecilia.

Definitely Cecilia.

Cecilia is beautiful and powerful. Cecily is plain and boring, maybe even a little nerdy.

---

Maybe something to bring Cecilia down to earth a little bit for a middle name.

Cecilia…
