What are your impressions/opinions of “[name]Alice[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]”? Both are family names with special significance. The last name is [name]Emery[/name]. My partner and I prefer the traditional spelling of [name]Cecilia[/name] (and it cuts down on three sets of CEs). [name]Do[/name] you think this name combo is too “essy”?
I look forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks a bundle for your help!
P.S. We pronounce it with four syllables as sə-SEE-lee-ə or something like Sah-See-Lee-Ah.
I think it’s essy, but I don’t mind it because I think the names go well together and you won’t go around calling her [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] all the time. You’ll mostly use just [name]Alice[/name].
I think [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name] flows better than [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Emery[/name], but I love both names and if they mean so much to you and your family, go for it!
I actually quite like it, and the ssy thig doesn’t really bother me. I kind of find the [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Emery[/name] part a bit too ‘e’ heavy though (sorry if this throws another spanner in the works)
I really love [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]! I hadn’t even noticed it until you said something, but then again, I didn’t try saying it out loud until you said something, either. I still don’t think it’s bad enough to be a deal breaker. When you say it out loud, do you have troubles? That would be my only hesitation. You’re the one that’ll have to yell it when she’s in trouble, so I would make sure it’s something you’re comfortable with.
For what it’s worth, I absolutely love [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Emery[/name], I think it’s stunning.
Oh, wow, thank you for the lovely comments! I’ve always loved the name [name]Cecilia[/name], and [name]Alice[/name] has grown on me during this pregnancy. [name]Alice[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] feels like the best fit for her, even if it is essy and clustered with the same letters!
To answer a question that was raised a couple of times: switching her name to [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Alice[/name] is something my partner’s not comfortable with because we’re planning to call her [name]Alice[/name]–he’s a [name]James[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] who’s always gone by [name]Andrew[/name] and has had to constantly correct people on such.
I think they look lovely written, but my concern is that said aloud it kind of sounds like [name]Alissa[/name] [name]Celia[/name] – the S sounds run together and it’s hard to tell where one name stops and the next begins. That said, I think both names are great and it’s not very often you’ll say the first and middle together, so if you love them, use them!
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] is quite pretty
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Emery[/name] is lovely
And (I dont know if youd ever use it!) I love the idea of nn [name]Ace[/name]!
