I'm English, and I've never heard this name pronounced with 2 syllables, always 3, see-lee-a.-- Anonymous User 5/7/2006
It's my mommy's name and one side of the family (the Irish side) says it sil-yah. The other side (the Mexican side) pronounces it see-lee-yah.-- Anonymous User 8/9/2006
I have come to really like this name. It is very pretty, elegant and dainty.-- Anonymous User 10/23/2006
I love this name not only because it's my mom's name but it's so beautiful and very rare. Since we're Mexican we pronounce it like (ceee-leee-ya) not (cel-ee-a).-- ALEX.ANDRA 10/26/2006
A couple of other literary bearers: a character in _Capulets and Montagues_ a famous early 17th century play by Lope de Vega, which, as the name suggests, is a different take on the Romeo and Juliet story. Also, in George Eliot's famous novel _Middlemarch_, the heroine's (Dorothea) sister is called Celia. However, I've never come across a Celia who plays a major role. Has anyone?-- Leonore 12/1/2006
Celia Rees is a novelist who has written timeless novels such as 'Witch Child', 'Sorceress' and 'Pirates'. She is a truly talented author, and her books are really well written.-- Surreal 1/13/2007
Célie is the French form of the name.-- lillinparadise 1/29/2007
I pronounce this as SEEL-yah, it's easier to say.-- dreadfulxsorry 1/31/2007
If you name a girl Celia, people will always say 'Cecelia?' and you will have to answer 'No. Just Celia' EVERY TIME. It's a beautiful name, but you have been warned.-- Anonymous User 12/6/2007
This is one of my favorite names. It's heard of, but rather uncommon and its got a cute meaning. I absolutely love the Italian pronunciation, but if you don't have the accent it kind of butchers it. I'm surprised it isn't more popular (and glad), I much prefer it to Cecelia.-- pandasayscynical 12/22/2007
I've always pronounced it CHEL-ya. I think it's prettier than See-lee-a, but to each his own. :)-- rain-angel03 3/23/2008
I happen to like this name. It is my middle name. I pronounce it like SEAL-YAH.-- kcp123 4/9/2008
It's a pretty name, but I prefer Cecilia. This is easily the best nickname for a Cecilia. I can't stand Cissy.-- slight night shiver 5/18/2008
The anonymous guy was right. "Cecelia?" No. Celia. "Cecelia?" No. Celia.
I hate the name Cecelia. Sounds like a disease or like you have a stutter. Love the name Celia.-- amishigloo 6/25/2008
Celia can also be used as a short form of Lucille.
In Limburgish, the name Celia is also used - but nearly always as a short form of Cecilia.-- Lucille 10/18/2008
This is a Polish variant, too.-- Anonymous User 1/5/2009
I'm using this name for my story because it is overly beautiful. She is called Cici though. She pronounces it "Seel-E-uh".-- italiannames 10/31/2009
Celia (also Cecilia, Latin Sancta Caecilia) is the patron saint of musicians and church music. Her saint day is 22nd November.-- Wendy Wheeler 11/15/2009
My name is Celia and people always have trouble pronouncing it. I always get called CeCilia or Cee-lee or some variation of the two. It gets frustrating, but I love my name. It's unique, because you don't meet many Celias.-- sobriquet87 4/13/2010
This is really pretty!-- Joy12 5/4/2011
Celia Bradley was a child character from the Disney movie, The Apple Dumpling Gang.-- Anonymous User 5/13/2011
This name has been ruined for me ever since reading "The Lady's Dressing Room" by Jonathan Swift, where the girl Celia is described in the most disgusting ways.-- Diest 9/25/2011
Celia Keenan-Bolger is an American stage actress. She was nominated for a Tony for her role in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and played Éponine in the 2006 Broadway revival of Les Misérables.-- faelivrin 10/22/2011
Celia is a beautiful, classical name. It reminds me of someone who would be elegant and artistic.-- Hushpuppy 11/16/2011
I love this name! I first saw it in Shakespeare's work "As You Like It" and fell in love! I second that it's "elegant and artistic" and it would be great with the middle name Olive. It could also be used as a feminine version of Seeley, in honor of Seeley Booth from the TV show BONES.-- Meapergirl 12/18/2011
Celia Ammerman was a contestant on the 12th season of "America's Next Top Model".-- Anonymous User 3/11/2012
