This to my ears and eyesight, is one of the loveliest names of all time. It's so unusual, uncommon and soft sounding which I often find S names to be. Whether you choose this name because of the dwarf planet named Ceres, looking for something rather Celestial or into astrology and mythology, it's timeless regardless. It's so fresh and special and an underrated name.

In classical Latin, the C is always hard; additionally, the long e is an "ay" sound, as in "say". Therefore, since the last e is long, Ceres should be pronounced - if you want to be a purist about it - "ker-ays."

I think this name is absolutely beautiful, and exotic without being too far out-there. I imagine it's pronounced "SER-ays", with the long 'a' sound being quite soft. Very pretty.

In Latin, this name would have been pronounced as [ke'res], but in English it is rendered as [si:ris] due to a pronunciation shift that occured with the letter "c".
In late Latin times, however, this name may have been pronounced as [tʃe'res].
