Cece is a cute nickname.I prefer Cecelia to Cecilia but it's a lovely name either way. Cecily is nice too.Reece is a boys name and I don't care for Celandine.

I love Cecilia and Celandine! Cecily is nice, but only because I like Cecil, not because I like Cecily in and of itself, if that makes sense.
Cece sounds like either a set of initials or the word "cease". I prefer Lia for Cecilia and Cela (see-luh) for Celandine. I don't like Reece at all.

I think Cece sounds juvenile and silly. It doesn't do its full forms justice. Cecilia and Cecily both feel aristocratic to me: Cecily is the daughter of a country gentlemen, she has a good sense of humour, and is an excellent horse rider. Cecilia is handsome and poetic, she learns music at a conservatory on Capri. Celia could work with Cece too, I guess, though I'm sure it has already been mentioned.

I love both Cecilia and Cecily (as well as Cecelia, though I prefer Cecilia)
For some reason I don't like Cece as much, though.I think Sierra and Sienna can be used as full names as well, but perhaps with a different spelling (Sisi? Sesi?)

I like Cecilia (Very classic and beautiful) but never really cared for Cece as a nickname, although that's probably an unavoidable one, or Cecily.

I love it. I know someone that names her daughter Cecilia and calls her Cece, not sure of the spelling. She is 4 now.

My sister's name begins with a soft C and our nephews call her Cece (they are both under 3). It's cute when they say it but it sounds babyish coming from me.
Or it could work with any two C names you like.Claire Catherine 'Cece'
Caroline Cerise 'Cece'
Cecilia is pretty and international. Cecily feels stuffy.

I actually like the French form Cecile the most. But Cecilia and Cecily are lovely. Cicely is also a favorite.Cece is not my taste, and Celandine is kind of silly to me. Reese is too boring.

I love Cecily and regret not having been able to use it. I find Cecilia inconveniently long and frilly, though I love the song.How would you pronounce Cece? Sees, or Sess, or Seesy, or Sessy? I pronounce Cecily (and Cecil) with a short e.
