Re: Would you deem these bad meanings?
I don't fixate on meanings, though I do enjoy them. The meaning of a name certainly doesn't affect my decision to use it or not: if I like it, I'll use it. Which means Yes to Cecily and No to Claudia.

Likewise. I give more weight to associations than etymology thus Cecily =music and Claudia= Roman emperors.A meaning has to be very obvious to put me off, I’d never use Dolores, or Amara which literally means bitter in my first language. But etymologies? A lot of them are obscure or dubious anyway.
