Cecil / Cyrus
WDYT of the names Cecil and Cyrus? I've really been liking both recently, especially Cyrus. I've been pronouncing Cecil SEH-sil instead of SEE-sil, because I just don't like the long e sound in that name.Also, any ideas for good combos? I'll admit to being at a bit of a loss.-------

I like Cecil a lot (as well as Cecily for a girl), and I agree with you on the pronunciation. Cyrus is alright, but I don't like it nearly as much as Cecil. It reminds me a bit of cypress trees, not that that's a bad thing. As for combos, I can think of...Cecil Clement

Prn. SEH-sil does make it more up-to-date for me. SEE-suhl reminds me of my great uncle who I LOVE, but who is very old. Cyrus is ok but I wouldn't us it.
The feminine versions: Cecilia, Cecile, Celia and Cecily are my fave.Britney Tamber

I love Cecilia, Cecile, Celia and Cecily, too. Especially Celia and Cecily.But I just thought I'd point out that Celia, despite its similarity in sound to Cecilia, is not a variant. Both Celia (and Celeste) derive from a different root than Cecil / Cecilia / Cecily, meaning blind. Celia and Celeste are from a Latin word meaning celestial / heavenly.

I didn't realize that. I'd much prefer the meaning heavenly to blind! hahaBritney Tamber

I love them both, although Cecil reminds me of this alligator on a kids show. It's called Maisy, but hey I have two baby brother so these shows are on all the time.
