Middles for Cecilia?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!

Been thinking about [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] lately… what do you think of these combos? And if you had to add any suggestions, what would you add?

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] Fleury
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] Hillevi
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] (mee-rye, not like Mireille)

[name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] and Fleury are in honor of a dear friend who passed about a decade ago (Fleury is a more roundabout honor); the other two just have meanings I think are really beautiful/meaningful. If [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] doesn’t do much for you… is [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] better?

Thanks lovelies!

[name_f]Marcheline[/name_f]! I love honour sentiments !

Should have probably added, since I’m nowhere near as present here as I used to be… there will almost definitely be a family name used here somewhere (as a second middle). I don’t know if that would feel like too much honoring? But I have been thinking about my friend a lot since the anniversary of her passing was about a month ago. Her first name still feels too raw to use, even after all this time (Amelie), but I have been really liking her middle name lately. Thank you for your thoughts!

Her middle is gorgeous! I would probably go with [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f]. I don’t have solid reasons why, but those feel the most right to me, especially if you include another middle. Maybe [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] ___ [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] ___.

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] is bright, pretty, elegant and cheerful!

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] is really shining out - what a distinctive, pretty name!

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] Fleury is appealing too, and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] is warm and elegant! I don’t think it’s too much.

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marcelle[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_u]Marin[/name_u], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] Florianne, [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Roisin[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marjolaine[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] came to mind

Thanks girl! I think it’s going to eventually come down to [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] vs. [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] - I don’t have a huge tie to [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] but I do like that it feels ballerina-ey because of [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] Nagasu… I know ballet and figure skating are different, but they always had a similar level of elegance and charm to me. And I like that one of her meanings is “to watch for thunder” - I’m a huge fan of storms in general, and this is just a beautiful thought to me. I think I’ve paired [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] longer in my head, but I do like the tie to [name_f]Millie[/name_f] (my friend) with [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] a lot… [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] feel made for each other to me. I think my “too much” comment was more… do I want to honor a friend and family all in one combo? Especially since [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] feels so tied to my faith… I don’t know that I love that something like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is basically honoring just important people to me and not really having something special of her own to have. I’m more ok with it for an indirect honor like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] [name_u]Esme[/name_u], but I’m still trying to decide how I feel about that.

If I did something like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f], it feels much more like what I’ve been going for, since I have no real tie to [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] other than that it reminds me of something I like and it’s aesthetically beautiful to me. :woman_shrugging: Still making up my mind, but [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] seem to be the ones sticking in my head. I was hung up on [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] for a while, but I’m pretty sure I want [name_f]Maris[/name_f] as a first name so I don’t think I would use [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] anymore. If I do [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f], I might opt for [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] or something along those lines… it’s long but I still think it’s pretty, and I’m so picky about what I like with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f], but I’m far from convinced on it, as I’m not sure I like an M name next to an F name with my synesthesia - way too many fiery colors lol.

ah that makes sense - it seems like it’s important to you to give her something special of her own, so [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] is standing out to me more now! Especially when you’ve got [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] as an option! It’s gorgeous and I think the ili sounds of [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] works with [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] to honour a [name_f]Millie[/name_f]?

I do like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirai[/name_f] paired together really well. Problem with [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] is I’m not 100% sure about [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] either; I think I like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] best with [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f], I’m not totally convinced on [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f] or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f]. I’m sure I’ll decide eventually lol. Millie’s full name was [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], and [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] already honors both my grandmothers, so I don’t know that I want a TON of honoring names with [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] either. I’m just being persnickety at this point, I think, lol.
