I prefer [name]Cecelia[/name] to [name]Cecily[/name]. From your list my favourite is [name]Beatrice[/name], I also like [name]Edie[/name] as a full name as I’m not fond of [name]Edith[/name]. I really really like [name]Guinevere[/name] - it’s on my own list in a mn spot - [name]Gwen[/name] could also work as full name though if you’re not sure about variations. Other ideas could be: [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Freya[/name], [name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Heather[/name], [name]Milicent[/name], [name]Georgina[/name], [name]Sienna[/name], [name]Freida[/name], [name]Anna[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name]? :slight_smile:

I love [name]Cecily[/name]! It was on my list but I couldn’t get DH to sign off on it. I think that it sounds perfect with [name]Nora[/name] as a sister. They both feel antique but still spunky and fun. Good choice!

I love [name]Vivian[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], and [name]Gwen[/name] in that order.

I think [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Sybil[/name] sound lovely together!

[name]Beatrice[/name] is a lovely name!

Thanks for the responses! And milliemm - thank you for the suggestions! [name]Evelyn[/name] is actually our first daughter’s middle name, and [name]Freya[/name] is a name we’ve talked about a lot.

I love [name]Cecily[/name]!! My only hesitation is the meaning of “blind”. I guess that could mean different things to different people. I actually love all your names except [name]Edith[/name], [name]Sybil[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], and [name]Gwen[/name].
