[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (NN [name]Mia[/name])

Due in 3 weeks!!

[name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is BEAUTIFUL!
I adore the name [name]Cecelia[/name], and Cece is such a cute, spunky nickname. [name]Claire[/name] is classic and beautiful, and it flows very well together.

[name]Amelia[/name] is too popular for my tastes.

[name]Hope[/name] this helped :)!

I would agree, [name]Cecelia[/name] is beautiful and not too popular. Although [name]Amelia[/name] is not considered overly popular where I live, I know of 3 little ones under 5 who have the name.

[name]Cecilia[/name]! I think [name]Amelia[/name] is lovely, but I think [name]Cecilia[/name] is really beautiful and so perfect with [name]Claire[/name].

I think [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is cute, but [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is really pretty too! [name]Both[/name] names are too trendy/common for my tastes but my vote is [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] nn CeCe, it’s really, really pretty!

Thanks for the input. I thinking I’m leaning towards [name]Cecelia[/name]. All family and friends around here are pushing for [name]Amelia[/name].

While I like both names, I really think that [name]Cecelia[/name] takes the cake. I think it’s because of the cute nickname option. Cece sounds so sweet. :slight_smile:

I dislike alliteration in names, so [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] gets my vote!

I like the spelling [name]Cecilia[/name] better. I think I’d go with [name]Amelia[/name] though.

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]

Ditto. If the middle name was different, I’d pick [name]Cecelia[/name]…but with [name]Claire[/name]…[name]Amelia[/name] gets my vote.

I love [name]Cecelia[/name], and I’d pick it over [name]Amelia[/name] any day. But like sheflieswithherownwings and rylane46, I dislike alliteration. If they middle name was different… but right now I’d say [name]Amelia[/name].

While I like both names I think [name]Cecelia[/name] wins. It’s just absolutley gorgeous and sounds great with [name]Claire[/name].

I love [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]! (Go figure, since [name]Clara[/name] Cecille is on my own list!) And not to be nitpicky, but [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] isn’t actually alliterative, since the Cs have completely different sounds. Alliteration is about sounds, not letters.

[name]Both[/name] are beautiful, but if you really don’t have a preference, I would go with the least popular one, [name]Cecelia[/name].

Two gorgeous names that I really love! Have you considered [name]Celia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]? I think I would go with [name]Cecelia[/name] or [name]Celia[/name] simply due to popularity, but I love [name]Amelia[/name] as well.

I actually love both names but if I had to choose I would pick [name]Cecilia[/name] (I dislike the [name]Cecelia[/name] spelling) [name]Claire[/name]. Also, [name]Celia[/name] is a really cute nickname! :slight_smile:

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is lovely. I’m not a fan of [name]Cecelia[/name], it always feels like a name that’s trying too hard.

I would chose [name]Cecelia[/name]. I don’t think the alliteration is an issue because the ‘c’ sounds are so different in theses name. [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is lovely.

I prefer [name]Cecelia[/name] over [name]Amelia[/name], but don’t care for it paired with [name]Claire[/name] as much as [name]Amelia[/name]. But if you are set on claire as a middle, it is still a nice name and I say cecelia. I had it on my list for a while! I always liked [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. :slight_smile:
