HelpRe: Cecily & Cecilia
in reply to a message by Bex
1) What do you prefer Cecily or Cecilia?
I prefer Cecilia simply because Cecily sounds too old-fashioned to me. Sometimes I waver, though, and think that Cecily sounds nicer.
2) Does Cecilia sound 'too catholic' (The only two Cecilia's i've known were from very strict Catholic families)
I've never connected Cecilia to Catholicism at all! It's Roman to me.
3) Does Cecilia 'Cecily' work or is it a bit of a stretch?
I think that works! The only thing strange about it is the differing emphasis on syllables. They're actually quite different sounding.
4) What would be a good nick name for Cecily?
I like Cee for both Cecilia and Cecily. There's also Cissy, which I like, and Cec/Cess - prn SESS, but I don't know how you'd spell it.
